Geography/History
Developed in 1962 and combining the better of two tasty worlds, this fruit is a cross between a temple orange and a tangelo. Kicking off the winter citrus season, Fall-Glo tangerines thrive in the warm sunshine of Florida where sixty per cent of the nation's tangerine supply is grown.
