Fruits Hybrid fruits Orangelo

Orangelo history:

An orangelo is a hybrid citrus fruit, a cross between a grapefruit and an orange.

Chironja OrangeloThe trees are grown on coffee plantations in the Puerto Rican highlands. Rootstock trials led to the growth of the hybrid fruit commonly known as the "Chironja". Chironja Orangelo fruits are eaten in the same manner as grapefruit but sweeter and brighter in color than grapefruit. The fruits are easier to peel.

This hybrid fruit was noticed by Carlos G. Moscoso, Fruit Specialist in Horticulture, Agricultural Extension Service, at the University of Puerto Rico. He saw a tree with large and bright-yellow fruits in contrast to the normal orange and grapefruit trees. Chironja Orangelo yield makes it popular with Puerto Rican growers. It became the more demanded fruit on Puerto Rican markets since it is more colorful than the grapefruit.
