Ellendale Tangor

Selected in 1878 by E.A. Burridge in Burrum (Queensland, Australia). It is considered a hybrid of mandarins and sweet oranges, although its parentage is unknown. In addition to having great commercial value, being a monoembryonic variety, it has been used in various breeding programs for varieties.

Moderately vigorous but productive tree, tending to form a rounded crown of dark leaves. Medium-sized fruits with spherical morphology and flattened poles. The basal area shows a slight crown, and the apical end usually has a small navel. Thin, moderately smooth, and slightly attached bark, bright orange in color that takes time to develop, even with the fruit mature internally. Pulp of very intense orange color, characteristic, juicy, with a balanced flavor and slightly effervescent notes that grant great freshness. It may have seeds.

Variety of great commercial value, distinguished by the appearance and flavor of its pulp.
