Orlando Tangelo

The Orlando Tangelo is a unique citrus fruit that is half tangerine and half-grapefruit. It looks like an orange and has a unique flavor that is both sweet and zesty, as well as an abundant flow of juice. The fruits can be harvested between November and February, bringing lots of citrus goodness to your table through those cold winter months. If you don’t live in an area where it can grow outdoors year-round, plant it in a pot and keep it indoors for the coldest months. The beautiful white blossoms are fragrant with the classic ‘orange-blossom’ perfume.

The Orlando Tangelo should be planted in full sun and in any well-drained soil. Plant on a mound if your soil is often wet. Potted trees should be grown in large pots with drainage holes, in a specially-blended citrus soil or in a mixture of one part houseplant soil and three parts cactus soil. Any pests can be controlled safely with Neem Oil, and no special pruning or growing techniques are needed. For more details on growing in pots, see how here.
