Named after Mr. W. K. Trimble, of Braidentown, Fla., in whose grove the original hybrid was produced. The resulting seedling was grown and tested in the grove of Mr. W. S. Hart, of Hawks Park, Fla., as was also the Weshart tangerine. Fruit compressed-spherical, of same shape as the Weshart tangerine, and with slightly protruded stem end and depression at apex. Size large, from 3 to 3 5/8 inches in diameter and from 2 to 2 3/8 inches in height. Heavy, averaging about 5.6 ounces. Color deep orange red, like Dancy tangerine, or slightly darker. Surface somewhat rough and bumpy, in larger specimens similar to King orange; frequently with slight grooves running from base to apex. Oil glands small, with the surface of the rind slightly sunken over the larger ones. Rind loose, thin, 3/32 to 1/8 inch in thickness. Segments 9 to 11. Membranes thin and tender. Axis f inch in diameter and hollow. Rag comparatively little for fruit of this class. Flesh deep orange yellow and very attractive, tender, and juicy. Pulp cells medium size. Flavor sprightly acid and excellent, with pronounced bouquet. Seeds few, averaging about 10. Tree vigorous and prolific. Foliage branching, and shape of tree like Dancy tangerine. Season of maturity very early for tangerine. The Trimble tangerine is a fine large tangerine, the rough, bumpy appearance serving to distinguish it from other tangerines, and at the same time not detracting from its appearance. In general the fruits are somewhat larger than those of the Weshart tangerine, but are slightly inferior to them in flavor.
