Induced mutation of Changsha Mandarin
Other names: UGA Seedless Changsha
Sweet Frost is a seed-reduced Changsha selection developed by University of Georgia breeder Wayne Hanna and released in November 2016. Near-release industry reporting describes it as irradiated Changsha.[1][2][3]
Descriptions of Sweet Frost as seedless coexist with reports of two to three seeds per fruit. Peter Chaires reports easy peeling, 11–12 °Brix, and November–December maturity in Georgia. UGA Extension describes dark-orange fruit ripening in November and consistent production.[1][3][2]
