Sugar Belle® was developed by scientists at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Citrus Research and Education Center.  Fruit resembles that of ‘Minneola’ tangelo in shape and appearance. The color and flavor of the fruit is a good balance of intense sweetness and typical citrus tartness.  Trees are very vigorous growing and after a couple years of establishment are showing good cold hardiness into the upper 20’s as well as great tolerance of HLB (citrus greening). Great fruit for juicing or eating, just have to work around the seeds. A patent fee of $6 is included in the price.

“Sugar Belle® ‘LB8-9’ (U.S. Patent PP21,356) -Propagation prohibited by law. Trees and fruit may not be resold or distributed.”

USDA regulations do not allow shipping to AZ, CA, LA, HI or TX or any other states other than Florida.
