Description
Tinura is a unique tangelo producing medium-sized, necked fruit with smooth orange skin. Its distinction is in the flesh: deep orange, very juicy, with more of a grapefruit flavour than traditional tangelos, making it a fantastic choice for people who enjoy grapefruit flavour but are unable to eat grapefruit itself. The tree is a fast grower and a medium to heavy producer, an easy, reliable citrus for New Zealand home orchards. Fruit ripens from September to December, Mid on the relative tangelo scale, and is easy to peel, excellent for fresh eating and juicing, with a refreshing tangy-sweet taste. Keeping quality is moderate. Plant in full sun in a sheltered, frost-free-leaning position in fertile free-draining soil, water regularly during establishment and fruiting, mulch, and feed with citrus fertiliser in spring and summer. Self-fertile.
