Narrative
'Minneola' tangelo fruits are large, and oblate to obovate, usually with a fairly prominent neck. The flesh color is a deep reddish-orange, medium-thick, and moderately adherent. There are usually 10 - 12 segments. The flesh is orange-colored, tender, juicy, and aromatic. The flavor is rich and tart, and often described as "sprightly". The trees are vigorous and productive, but less cold-resistant than 'Olando'. When grown in solid blocks, 'Minneola' generally has few seeds. Inter-planting with pollinators such as 'Dancy', 'Clementine', or 'Kinnow' ('Orland' is cross-incompatible) increases productivity but also increases seediness. 'Minneola' has a tendency to alternate-bear and is susceptible to Alternari and scab when those diseases are present and climatic conditions are conducive to their development. 'Minneola' has proven adaptable to many different climatic and soil conditions. It is grown commercially in the desert areas of California and Arizona; the Mediterranean areas of Cyprus, Israel, and South Africa; and the semi-tropical climates of Florida, Argentina, and South Africa. For more information, see: The Citrus Industry, 1967, I: 528-529; Saunt, 2000, Citrus Varieties of the World, p. 78; Tucker et al, 4998, Florida Citrus Varieties, p.30; and http://wdis.ifas.ufl.edu/scripts/htmlgen.exe?bodyandDOCUMENT_CH072, from which this information was summarized. There are currently three selections of 'Minneola' in NCGRCD holdings (RRUT 347, RRUT 367, and PI 539709). They appear to differ little from one another, all maturing at the same time and having similar fruit. (RRK, 10/2006)
