They're one of my more delicious citrus products here at home. I think they're an old cross between a tangerine and an orange, but I'd need to look it up....if you have enough of them, they make a delicious juice. Edit: cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted September 25, 2018 Share #20 Posted September 25, 2018 Minneola blossoms are self-incompatible and must be cross-pollinated by a suitable pollinator to assure good fruit set. Most mandarin-types are suitable pollinators, with the exception of Satsumas and Minneola’s siblings, Orlando and Seminole. Unfortunately, when cross-pollinated, Minneola’s fruits tend to be seedy.Tree vigorous and productive with large, long-pointed leaves. Less cold-resistant than Orlando. Cross-pollination recommended for regular and heavy production. Dancy, Clementine, and Kinnow mandarins appear to be satisfactory pollinators. Orlando tangelo is cross-incompatible. ...I planted a Clementine Mandarin for cross pollination, but it also produces a nice, small, early orange.

petitepedal ★ Posted September 25, 2018 Share #21 Posted September 25, 2018 The name Minnesota is based on the Dakota Sioux word "Mnisota" (the native name for the Minnesota River) which means "cloudy water" or "sky-tinted water." All State Name Origins. Many counties and locations in Minnesota are derived from native American languages including Cree, Sioux and Dakota.

Tizeye Posted September 25, 2018 Share #25 Posted September 25, 2018 While yes it is a variety of orange, my first thought was an area of Clermont, Fl known as Mineola. Great cycling area around Lake Mineola any has a great high end bike shop along it’s shoreline trails. Ironically, it encompasses and is a few blocks from the historic citrus tower where use to see miles of groves, now rooftops. Also in the vicinity of the much rumored Florida hills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted September 25, 2018 Share #26 Posted September 25, 2018 I always called them Minneola oranges, but is the verdict that they are some sort of orange x ???? hybrid? I like most citrus. I generally prefer the ones that are easiest to peel like those little Clementine ones or the Satsuma one. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted September 25, 2018 Share #27 Posted September 25, 2018 Quote The Minneola tangelo (sometimes misspelled "Mineola" or "Myneeowleh") 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.[ A true Honeybell Tangelo is a hybrid-cross between Thompson tangerine and a pomelo, hence the name Tangelo released by the USDA. One study thus far has shown that, unlike grapefruit, interactions with statins are not likely with tangelos. Although the tangelo is derived from a grapefruit crossed with a tangerine, the furocoumarins in grapefruit are not expressed in tangelos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom The are part of the tangelo family which has the attributes of tangerines and oranges. While hardy, not really that commercial. Valencia’s are #1, traditional orange and primary juicer. Commercial preferences other than tangerines (Darcy or Sunburst) are navel oranges and Honeybells. Went to local nursery to buy a replacement tangerine tree. While saw tangelos there, none were the Minneola variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted September 25, 2018 Share #33 Posted September 25, 2018 Since we learned in Longfellow's "The Song of Hiawatha" that Minnehaha means "Laughing Water," then clearly Mineola means "Ola Water." Since Ola means "Hello" in many languages, then Mineola translates to "Hello Water." Perhaps there was once a thirsty Algonquin who found a stream, smiled and said, "Hello, water!" and thought, "What a pleasant place to be!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another coincidence, if you google a map of Clermont, FL you will see Lake Mineola, and immediately south (across SR 50) is Lake Minnehaha.
