Clement Tangelo

Swingle et al. described Clement tangelo as a selected member of a grapefruit-cross group in which Clementine served as pollen parent; the group’s fruit were inclined to loose, puffy skins.^⁠[2]

The 1931 account describes Clement fruit as variable, from oblong-oval to depressed-globose, about 3¼–3½ inches in diameter. It reports a soft, quarter-inch rind with deeply indented oil cells, a free-peeling surface and large open core; pale amber, soft, fiberless pulp with small vesicles; 10–12 segments; and variable seed counts, usually one per segment, with some fruit seedless. Florida maturity was reported for December–January.^⁠[2]

Hodgson’s 1967 account reports Clement tangelo as a Duncan grapefruit × Clementine hybrid produced in Florida in 1914 by W. T. Swingle and introduced in 1931.^⁠[3]
