The Minneola Tangelo (Citrus x 'Minneola') is a delightful cross between white Duncan Grapefruit and sweet Dancy Tangerine. Also called a Honeybell, this beautiful orange-red fruit is a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavor.
The wonderfully fragrant white blooms adorn this tree and attract the attention of anyone viewing as well as any pollinator in your area! Soon the glossy green foliage becomes the backdrop for the developing fruit.
The winter-ripening fruit is gorgeous gems and looks delightful dangling from your tree! The brilliantly colored fruit against glossy dark green leaves is irresistible.
The Minneola Tangelo is a hit with both adults and children! Juicy, easy to peel and with very few seeds make it a perfect snacking orange. Each fruit has a bell shape, featuring a cute top-knot and a vivid red-orange color!
There is very little pulp making this a great orange for cooking, canning and juicing too. The added bonus of the Vitamin C and fiber they contain means you are providing your family with healthy, unprocessed food that requires very little care and stores well!
In colder weather climates bring your Minneola Tangelo tree indoors for the winter and pick fruit inside your home between February and spring. It will be perfectly happy in a container in front of any sunny window.
This winter ripening fruit tree is an evergreen that can be grown anywhere. Sized wonderfully to tuck into existing orchards and smaller yards, you’ll easily be able to keep this tree smaller yet with pruning.
Fantastic trees for patios and porches, these are gorgeous gems to decorate your seating areas, while keeping healthy and delicious treats within arms reach!
Imagine this tree by your front entry enticing visitors with red-orange gems, or a pair of potted sentries standing at your pool or garden gate! Any sized garden can accommodate these trees with a bit of pruning and even container gardeners and sunny balconies can easily enjoy these fantastic trees!
Citrus trees do their absolute best in full sun. Provide as much direct sunlight as possible and even supplement with grow lights if your indoor location or patio doesn’t provide enough.
Hardy in USDA growing zones 9-10 when planted outdoors, growers in colder climates can bring these trees indoors as soon as temperatures dip, bringing them back out in spring.
Citrus trees bane is soggy soil, so plant your tree in very well-draining soil that doesn’t hold excess moisture. Be sure to provide fertile soil and fertilizer 3-4 times a year, doing best in an acid-loving or citrus tree fertilizer.
Water sparingly, but evenly when planted outdoors but do not allow young trees to dry out much between waterings their first year, afterward, allow your root system to dry out a bit before watering again. Container trees will need a bit more watering, deeply soaking the roots and then allowing them to dry out. Be sure to provide excellent drainage holes for excess water to drain away.
This variety of Citrus tree was released in 1931 and has been a family favorite ever since! The Minneola Tangelo is an easy to grow, stunning tree that offers year-round interest and a healthy snack alternative in any climate.
