Description

The Minneola (sometimes misspelled "Mineola") is a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine and was released in 1931 by the USDA Horticultural Research Station in Orlando. It is named after Minneola, Florida. Most Minneola tangelos are characterized by a stem-end neck which tends to make the fruit appear bell-shaped. Because of this, it is called the Honeybell in the fruit trade, where it is one of the most popular varieties, but the proper name is Minneola. The fruit is usually fairly large, typically 9 - 9½ inches in circumference. The peel color, when mature, is a bright reddish-orange color. The peel is relatively thin, so the fruit peels easily. It is quite juicy.
