Honeybell Tangelos are a great Florida breed if you like sweet, juicy, seedless oranges. They are usually available in the Farmers Market in Brownwood and elsewhere in the January-February timeframe. I actually prefer Temple Oranges, another Florida brand, despite them having a ton of seeds. They are just the sweetest, juiciest oranges ever. However, almost nobody grows them anymore and when they do, they often sell them out of state for top dollar. Honeybells are my fallback orange.
