I have grown a variety of citrus trees in central Florida for over 50 years, all in my backyards. Minneola, Navel, Dancy, Temple, Valencia, Ruby Red grapefruit, Duncan grapefruit and several others. And I grew these trees from 3 gallon containers to mature in-ground trees. It's been about 15 years since I last tended any trees or enjoyed their fruit. But I can say without hesitation that to me there is not a better tasting, easier eating citrus than a Minneola Tangelo. Big, beautiful and superb tasting fruit.
At this time I have a newly planted Sugar Belle and a Tango tangerine. Time will tell (3-4 years), but I know that the Sugar Belle is going to have a tough time following those well grown, pre-HLB Minneola's from days gone by.
