How to grow Tangelo 'Minneola'

Minneola can grow into quite a large tree, so care should be taken to provide adequate space for development1. It does not self-pollinate easily, so you should plant compatible cross-pollinating citrus hybrids nearby3, such as Temple, Sunburst, or possibly Fallglo1.

Minneola is subject to Alternaria and scab fungus diseases, so you may need a vigorous spray program during spring to prevent damage to leaves and fruit1.

Minneola is fairly cold-hardy
