(May 2015) (Learn how and when to delete this template message) OrangeloHybrid parentageCitrus paradisi × Citrus sinensisOriginPuerto Rico An orangelo (Spanish chironja - C. paradisi × C. sinensis) is a hybrid citrus fruit that is believed to originate in Puerto Rico. The fruit, a cross between grapefruit and orange, spontaneously appeared in the shade of trees grown on coffee plantations in the Puerto Rican Highlands. In 1956, Carlos G. Moscoso of the Horticultural and Agricultural Expansion Service at the University of Puerto Rico noticed trees that grew fruit that were larger and brighter than other trees on plantations. The Rootstock trials led to the development of a hybrid commonly known as chironia. In Puerto Rican Spanish, the name portmanteau is orange (Puerto Rico Spanish: porcelain) and grapefruit (toronja). Orangelos are often eaten in the same way as grapefruit (cut in half and eaten with a grapefruit spoon), but sweeter and brighter in color than grapefruit, and easier to clean. They are round to pear-shaped, with 9-13 segments. References a b Morton, J. (1987). Orange. hort.purdue.edu. received on January 17, 2017. I don't know what to do. fruitsinfo.com.

PELTIER, Plant Pathologist, Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station, and Agent, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, and WILLIAM J. FREDERICH, Assistant Pathologist, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture 2 INTRODUCTION In a preliminary report (6)3 the senior author briefly described the results obtained under greenhouse conditions for a period of six months on the susceptibility and resistance to citrus-canker of a number of plants including some of the wild relatives, Citrus fruits, and hybrids of the genus Citrus. Since that time the plants reported on have been under close observation; a third experiment has been started, and many inoculations have been made in the isolation field in southern Alabama during the summers of 1917, 1918, and 1919. Many more plants have been successfully inoculated; others have proved to be extremely sus- ceptible; while some of those tested still show considerable resistance. The results obtained up to November 1, 1919, are described in tjhis report. EXPERIMENTAL METHODS In the greenhouse, the methods used and the conditions governing the inoculations described in the preliminary report were closely fol- lowed. The same strain of the organism was used and was applied in the 1 Published with the approval of the Director of the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station. The paper is based upon cooperative investigations between the Office of Crop Physiology and Breeding Investi- gations, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Plant Pathology, Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station.

  • Improvement of Subtropical Fruit Crops: Citrus
    IMPROVEMENT OF SUBTROPICAL FRUIT CROPS: CITRUS HAMILTON P. ÏRAUB, Senior Iloriiciilturist T. RALPH ROBCNSON, Senior Physiolo- gist Division of Frnil and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Tndusiry MORE than half of the 13 fruit crops known to have been cultivated longer than 4,000 years,according to the researches of DeCandolle (7)\ are tropical and subtropical fruits—mango, oliv^e, fig, date, banana, jujube, and pomegranate. The citrus fruits as a group, the lychee, and the persimmon have been cultivated for thousands of years in the Orient; the avocado and papaya were important food crops in the American Tropics and subtropics long before the discovery of the New World. Other types, such as the pineapple, granadilla, cherimoya, jaboticaba, etc., are of more recent introduction, and some of these have not received the attention of the plant breeder to any appreciable extent. Through the centuries preceding recorded history and up to recent times, progress in the improvement of most subtropical fruits was accomplished by the trial-error method, which is crude and usually expensive if measured by modern standards. With the general accept- ance of the Mendelian principles of heredity—unit characters, domi- nance, and segregation—early in the twentieth century a starting point was provided for the development of a truly modern science of genetics. In this article it is the purpose to consider how subtropical citrus fruit crops have been improved, are now being improved, or are likel3^ to be improved by scientific breeding. Each of the more important crops will be considered more or less in detail.

  • New and Noteworthy Citrus Varieties Presentation
    New and Noteworthy Citrus Varieties Citrus species & Citrus Relatives Hundreds of varieties available. CITRON Citrus medica • The citron is believed to be one of the original kinds of citrus. • Trees are small and shrubby with an open growth habit. The new growth and flowers are flushed with purple and the trees are sensitive to frost. • Ethrog or Etrog citron is a variety of citron commonly used in the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. The flesh is pale yellow and acidic, but not very juicy. The fruits hold well on the tree. The aromatic fruit is considerably larger than a lemon. • The yellow rind is glossy, thick and bumpy. Citron rind is traditionally candied for use in holiday fruitcake. Ethrog or Etrog citron CITRON Citrus medica • Buddha’s Hand or Fingered citron is a unique citrus grown mainly as a curiosity. The six to twelve inch fruits are apically split into a varying number of segments that are reminiscent of a human hand. • The rind is yellow and highly fragrant at maturity. The interior of the fruit is solid rind with no flesh or seeds. • Fingered citron fruits usually mature in late fall to early winter and hold moderately well on the tree, but not as well as other citron varieties.

  • These Fruiting Plants Will Tolerate Occasional Temperatures at Or Below Freezing
    These fruiting plants will tolerate occasional temperatures at or below freezing. Although many prefer temperatures not below 40 degrees F., all will fruit in areas with winter temperatures that get down to 32 degrees F. Some plants may need frost protection when young. Some will survive temperatures into the mid or low 20’s F. or below. Most of these plants have little or no chilling requirements. Chill Hours • As the days become shorter and cooler in fall, some plants stop growing, store energy, and enter a state of dormancy which protects them from the freezing temperatures of winter. (deciduous plants lose their leaves ) Once dormant, a deciduous fruit tree will not resume normal growth, including flowering and fruit set, until it has experienced an amount of cold equal to its minimum “chilling requirement” followed by a certain amount of heat. • A simple and widely used method is the Hours Below 45°F model which equates chilling to the total number of hours below 45°F during the dormant period, autumn leaf fall to spring bud break. These hours are termed “chill hours”. • Chill hour requirements may vary How a fruit tree actually accumulates winter from fruit type to fruit type or chilling is more complex . Research indicates even between cultivars or varieties fruit tree chilling: of the same type of fruit. 1) does not occur below about 30-34°F, 2) occurs also above 45°F to about 55°F, • Chill hour requirements may be as 3) is accumulated most effectively in the 35-50°F high as 800 chill hours or more or range, as low as 100 chill hours or less.
