History
Like Fall Star Tangerines and Temple Oranges, Florida Honey Tangerines are tangors, a hybrid of mandarin and sweet orange. Unlike its cousins, however, Honey Tangerines were not a chance discovery. Working at a USDA nursery in Miami, Walter T. Swingle first created the hybrid in 1913 and sent a tree to Safety Harbor, Florida for testing and propagation. Charles Murcott Smith further propagated the tree in 1922 and by 1928 the tree and fruit became a commercial success known as the Honey Murcott.
Still officially designated as Honey Murcott, Florida Honey Tangerines are the latest maturing tangerine of the citrus season. That is why Florida Honey Tangerines have such a rich color and flavor.
