Tangelo Orange Seedlings

Description

We offer tangelo orange seedlings. Tangelos, a hybrid of mandarin orange and grapefruit, are oblong in shape and look like oranges. They are juicy with less pulp than regular oranges and can be eaten fresh off the tree or used in salads and cooked dishes. You can grow your own tangelo tree by saving the seeds from fruit and planting them into pots.

Tangelos are a cross between grapefruit and tangerine trees. They are large, have sweet fruits with attractive red-orange skins
