Tangelos are hybrids of mandarins and grapefruit.
But the Orlando ripens earlier, which is why we've chosen to offer it here. The fruit is medium to large, with a deep orange rind. It has a lot of juice, with a mildly sweet flavor - much like that of a mandarin. Because of its lineage, the Orlando reportedly has good cold hardiness. Tangelos make excellent landscape specimens, growing 12 to 16 feet high and almost as wide.
