Zesty BA9 Tangelo

Origin

Zesty tangelo (reference BA9) is a specific varietal selection, distributed by certain nurseries specializing in hardy citrus. It is appreciated for its robustness in temperate climates.

Tree description

The tree is vigorous, with an elegant semi-weeping habit. It stands out for cold resistance above the average for tangelos, which makes it a prime candidate for gardens outside the orange tree's zone.

Fruit quality

The fruit is of good size, orange at maturity, with thin skin. It is remarkable for its near-total absence of seeds and its great juiciness.

Flavor and ornamental interest

As its name suggests, it offers a lively ("zesty") and refreshing flavor. The taste is rich, sweet with a pleasant touch of acidity, typical of the best mandarin hybrids.
