Retrieved UF/IFAS extension page. It lists Temple among suitable pollenizing cultivars for Minneola because Minneola is not strongly self-fruitful; no site, planting design, fruit-set measurement, or pollen-compatibility experiment is supplied.

USDA Circular 181 compares Minneola with Temple in shape, size and color, while distinguishing rind behavior, flavor and seed number. Historical comparison only; it does not establish Temple identity or pedigree.

Official UF/IFAS HS181/CH068 cultivar account, DOI 10.32473/edis-ch068-1993; originally published September 2003 and currently revised through February 2024. It attributes an apparent late-1800s Jamaica origin and 1919 naming/introduction; general Florida extension descriptions cover fruit, tree, pollenizer use, season and cultivation. Seed counts and cultivation advice are source-wide guidance, not a controlled trial or accession-specific measurement.

Secondary industry-history article distinguishing Standard Temple from Fertic, Sue Linda and Thoro. It recounts Jamaica-to-Florida history, commercial introduction around 1919–1920, and market decline; no primary historical documentation is cited. Low-seed observations and selection traits belong to Sue Linda/Thoro, not Standard Temple; HLB comments are explicitly confounded by older blocks and multiple stresses.

Personal Southern California grower account describing juicy, seedy, easy-peeling fruit, an orange/Meyer-lemon taste comparison, and a longer May–June hang/harvest in the author’s conditions. No accession, rootstock, fruiting year, sample count, or measurement method is specified; preserve these as attributed observations rather than standardized cultivar measurements.
