One of the sweetest oranges we've ever tasted and by far the juiciest is the Honeybell. It's surprising the time of the year they are ready to harvest starting around the end of December / beginning of January. And even after a couple freeze warnings we've had, they are still going strong. What is left remain inside the tree canopy and they are huge and very orange.
We have several neighbors we share these with so not to go to waste. One lady uses them in her fruit cakes, which is the best we have ever had. Terry bags several for Madison's bus driver and neighbors who are unable to come pick their own, Terry will bag and take to them.
Honeybells are a cross hybrid of tangerine and grapefruit. They are very easy to peel and only have minimum seeds. The one tree we have is very productive and here soon fruit will be replaced with an abundance of flowers.
