When this citrus fruit is sold by the gift fruit industry they call it ‘Honeybell’. Minneola Tangelo citrus trees are so succulent, there is very little pulp or seeds for that matter. This luscious sweet-tangy citrus fruit is a cross between white grapefruit and sweet juicy tangerines. No matter where you live, you can harvest your own homegrown Minneola Tangelos. Eat them off the tree, cook or can with them but don’t forget to enjoy the fresh squeezed juice and awesome fruit smoothies.

Minneola Tangelo Trees are Easily Grown in Containers in Northern Climates.
This attractive round canopied tree is a dwarf, reaching 12 feet tall in the yard and much shorter in a container. Unlike many kinds of fruit trees, citrus trees will live for many years in a 5 gallon pot without root pruning or re-potting! This low maintenance house tree usually bears fruit in February. For best results, when growing these in containers, be sure to use a well-drained potting mixture. Minneola Tangelos do best if you don’t allow them to completely dry out. Pick a sunny window for winter months and enjoy the fresh picked flavor of citrus!

Minneola Tangelos and Other Citrus Trees Don’t Need Full Sun!
In fact, the thing that makes any citrus fruit the sweetest is warm temperatures, not sunshine. The more sunlight your new Minneola Tangelo tree gets during the flowering season in summer, the heavier your harvest of citrus fruit will be. Be sure to select your outdoor planting spot with that in mind. Noting how shadows fall throughout the day is important to get the most out of your citrus harvest. It is most important to keep these citrus trees from drying out during the growing and ripening seasons, otherwise you could experience fruits that split open.

Beautiful, Brilliant Red Orange Minneola Tangelos Brighten Winter Days and Your Health.

You are going to love all the benefits of this gift quality fruit grown chemical-free right there at home.
