Citrus-Tangor ‘Kiyomi’
Citrus 'Temple' is a tangor with thick skin that is easy to peel and full-flavoured fruit.
Citrus ‘Kiyomi’ is a tangor, a cross between a tangerine (C. reticulata) or “tang” and a sweet orange (C. sinensis) or “or”, giving us “tangor”. Tangors have thick skins that are easy to peel and full-flavoured fruit with a touch of sour to balance the sweetness. ‘Kiyomi’ is a cross of the ‘Miyagawa’ satsuma and ‘Trovita’ navel orange. All of our citrus are grafted onto C-35 citrange, trifoliate orange, or other semi-dwarfing rootstock which confer good hardiness and production while reducing overall tree size.
