Tree: medium-small; moderately vigorous; canopy dense; self-fertile; very productive annually without alternate bearing, producing ∼1 bushel/tree on 5-year-old trees; bears most fruit on shoot terminals; trees in Gainesville have survived freezes of -7.8 °C without damage to small branches or leaves.

US 7650, US 7651, and US 7652. Hybrids for use in breeding sweet-orange-like cultivars. Origin: USDA-ARS, Orlando, FL, by C.J. Hearn. Ambersweet × FF-1-30-52 (Wilking × Valencia); crossed 1995-96; selected by R. Driggers and E. Stover 2012; introd. 2017. Fruit: US 7650 fruit are similar in size to typical oranges and spherical in shape; US 7651 is half to 2/3 the size of typical oranges and slightly flattened; US 7652 is larger than most sweet oranges, with size and shape similar to many navel oranges; aroma volatiles and general appearance similar to sweet oranges; 12.6-14.0 °Brix, TA 0.8-1.2%; juice color scores 41-42, superior to Valencia; ripen November/December; seeds per fruit when used in controlled crosses have been 15-20 for US 7650 and US 7651, and 7-15 for US 7652; seeds monoembryonic (not apomictic) so that they can be used as seed parents, with all resulting seeds producing hybrids; pollen highly viable. Tree: size medium, somewhat smaller than Valencia, Hamlin, and navel; trees appear to be parthenocarpic, as they have set well in screenhouses; healthy trees crop well but are sensitive to Huanglongbing. Most hybrids display good vigor even when crossed with predominantly sweet orange parents, and 66% of their pedigree is from sweet orange over the last three generations, suggesting elimination of some deleterious recessive genes found in sweet orange.

US HoneyCoat. Pink true grapefruit with low seed count, somewhat thick peel, excellent flavor, low acidity, low bitterness, and earlier maturity. Origin: USDA-ARS, Orlando, FL; C.J. Hearn irradiated standard Foster grapefruit 1973; initially selected by C.J. Hearn, Leesburg, FL 1984; regenerated from adventitious buds by H. Barrett; selected by E. Stover 2011; tested as Seedless Foster and FF-1-26-51; introd. 2018. Fruit: external appearance and flavor like standard pink grapefruit; low acidity and bitterness, 10.4 °Brix, TA 0.90% (standard grapefruit 11.7 °Brix, TA 1.60%); peel smooth, but thicker than standard grapefruit with a pink blush; core somewhat open, like a pummelo; flesh pink, frequently completely seedless and averaging <2 seeds/fruit; ripens mid-October to early January in Leesburg; fruit hold well on tree, but as acidity drops in winter, may become insipid. Tree: vigorous; crop load and growth habit similar to other conventional grapefruit cultivars and with similar sensitivity to Huanglongbing; may be somewhat more cold hardy than standard grapefruit, based on anecdotal observations following freeze events, and its early ripening trait permits harvest before risk of fruit freezing.

US Ortanique-LS. Rich-flavored, late-maturing, low-seeded, peelable but not zipper-skin mandarin hybrid. Origin: USDA-ARS, Ft. Pierce, FL; J. Chaparro irradiated standard Ortanique budwood 1998; selected by R. Driggers and E. Stover 2011; introd. 2018. Fruit: essentially identical to standard Ortanique (which is similar to Temple but later maturing) but slightly smaller, with fewer seeds per fruit (mean of 5 in mixed plantings vs. 15 in standard Ortanique growing nearby); rind pebbled, orange, medium thick, somewhat adherent, removable by hand in chunks; flesh dark orange; flavor rich; ripens January-March. Tree: vigor medium; canopy compact; standard Ortanique is self-incompatible and poorly parthenocarpic, so use of solid plantings is not likely to provide both lower seed count and acceptable yields; anecdotally US Ortanique-LS is somewhat tolerant of Huanglongbing, responding favorably to enhanced nutritional therapy.

US Seedless Surprise. White mild grapefruit-like hybrid, low-seeded, early maturing, with excellent flavor, low acidity, and low bitterness. Origin: USDA-ARS, Indio, CA, by J. Furr. Pearl tangelo × Red Mexican grapefruit; crossed 1964; seedy progenitor selected in Leesburg, FL by C.J. Hearn 1973; budwood irradiated 1980; tested as Early Sweet, FF1-77-19, USDA 77-19, and 77-19; introd. 2017. Fruit: external appearance like standard white grapefruit, with a smooth yellow peel of medium thickness; flesh cream-yellow with somewhat irregular segment size; flavor grapefruit-like but mild with low acidity and no bitterness in flesh, segment walls, or albedo. Tree: vigor medium; canopy spreading; performed better on Carrizo and sour orange than on Cleopatra rootstock; reportedly somewhat more cold-tender than conventional grapefruit; yields of 8-10-year-old trees ranged from 116-270 kg/tree at 2 locations, with fruit averaging 350-500 g and containing 0-9 polyembryonic seeds, but averaging fewer than 5 seeds/fruit; in Florida fruit reach initial market maturity in late September when the rind is still green in color; fruit displays a number of postharvest issues, it is sensitive to ethylene exposure in the degreening process similar to Oroblanco, has a tendency to stem-end rot (Lasiodiplodia theobromae) and may require fungicide treatments to prevent postharvest decay; anecdotally juice develops after-bitterness, making it a poor choice for juice production; Huanglongbing sensitivity is similar to standard grapefruit.

US SunDragon. Sweet-orange-like hybrid including Poncirus in its pedigree, with remarkable tolerance to Huanglongbing. Origin: USDA-ARS, Leesburg, FL, by J. Chaparro. FF-5-14-96 × FF-1-11-7; crossed 1999; pedigree is 1/8 Poncirus; selected Fort Pierce, FL 2011 by R. Driggers and E. Stover; tested as FTP-6-49-96, USDA4996, and Gnarlyglo; introd. 2018. Fruit: 200-475 g; often slightly pyriform; rind highly pebbled, dark orange, with green retained at stem end; flesh light orange with relatively few seeds (typically 5-10 per fruit); texture slightly crisp; flavor mild, orange-like, with a distinctive “zesty” note, ∼11 °Brix, acidity low; color score low, 33-34; if harvested early, fruit often have a slight off-taste (sometimes described as soapy) to many but not most consumers, but when fully mature the off-taste is no longer present; peelable by hand similar to a California navel orange; ripens October-January in Florida. Tree: vigorous; canopy spreading open, somewhat leggy branches; in a replicated Huanglongbing-exposed trial of 27 different genotypes trees had the second largest mean canopy volumes; leaves are unifoliate, extremely dark green compared to surrounding trees and distinctly v-shaped when viewed longitudinally down the mid-rib; among the most Huanglongbing-tolerant citrus types in tests; useful as a parent for further citrus breeding, and is best as a pollen parent due to small number of seeds per fruit; notably this is the first Poncirus hybrid released for use as a scion cultivar, though there have been many released as rootstocks and a few as breeding parents.

US Superna. Extraordinarily richly flavored, nearly seedless mandarin hybrid that peels easily and bears modest crops in California, but bears unacceptably poor crops in Florida. Origin: USDA-ARS, Leesburg, FL, by C.J. Hearn. Lee × Nova; crossed 1966; tested as 6-13-44, 88-2, USDA 88-2, and Lee × Nova; introd. 2019. Fruit: size medium to very large for a mandarin (typically 90-125 g in California, larger in Florida but low crop load); mandarin- to orange-like in appearance; rind somewhat pebbly dark orange to orange-yellow, medium thick; frequently but not always has a blossom-end “navel” from secondary fruit development; fruit peel easily in California, but less so in Florida; flesh medium firm, juicy, orange, with no or few seeds (<1 seed/fruit); taste rich and distinctive, among the most flavorful and sweetest citrus; ripens late October to mid-December. Tree: vigor medium; canopy unusually spreading for a mandarin-type; appears to be relatively cold hardy; trees in Florida crop very poorly, in California trees produce a modest but acceptable crop; somewhat tolerant to Huanglongbing.
