Tangelo 'Orlando'
Citrus x tangelo 'Orlando'
Orlando is a variety of Tangelo that produces sweet, juicy orange fruits. Tangelo is a hybrid of grapefruits and tangerines. Tangelos are easy to peel like tangerines, but larger and juicier than typical mandarins.
Citrus should be grown outdoors in the summer once the temperatures are reliably above 15 degrees Celsius. Once the cool weather hits, they should be moved inside to a location that receives as much light as possible. Let the soil dry out slightly in between waterings, but not fully.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.
