Tree, hybrid between tangerine and grapefruit, bearing fruit which combines characters from both parents. Vigorous and cold-resistant. Several varieties are available. Minneola and Orlando need to be planted near other citrus trees for cross-pollination. The Temple tangor (C. sinensis x C. paradisi) bears a sweet, juicy fruit similar to tangelos.
