===Orlando=== The early maturing Orlando tangelo is noted for its rich juiciness, mild and sweet flavor, large size, distinct zesty smell, and flat-round shape without a characteristic knob. Orlando tangelos are available from mid-November to the beginning of February. The tangelo originated as a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a [[Dancy (citrus)|Dancy]] tangerine.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jackson |first=Larry K. |last2=Futch |first2=Stephen H. |title=Orlando Tangelo |url=http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ch077 |access-date=February 4, 2014 |publisher=[[Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences]], University of Florida}}</ref> [[Walter Tennyson Swingle]] of the [[United States Department of Agriculture]] (USDA) is credited with creating the hybrid in 1911. When the Orlando tangelo was first cultivated, it was known by the name Lake tangelo. The trees of this variety grow to a large size and are easily recognized by their cup-shaped leaves. Orlando tangelos are recognized as one of the more cold-tolerant varieties.
