Tangor

Dweet

Dweet is a tangor (tangerine x orange hybrid) sold by Wairere Nursery (Tangor Dweet) and in scope at The Plant Company tangor range. Wairere describes medium-to-large sweet juicy fruit with rich flavour on a highly ornamental bush. Tangors blend mandarin easy-peel character with orange size and juice; the dedicated tangor species has zero cultivars even though tangor-type fruit (Honey Murcott, Kara, Kyomi) sit misfiled under mandarin, so Dweet establishes the correct species home with a named NZ-stocked variety.

Ortanique

Ortanique is a tangor (mandarin x orange hybrid) sold in NZ by Copperfield Nurseries, producing good crops of highly coloured fruit with a rich sweet flavour, ripening October to November. The fruit is medium to large with an easy-peel rind and juicy flesh, suited to fresh eating and juicing; the tree is vigorous and productive on trifoliate rootstock in warm NZ districts.
