Robinson

Robinson is one of the early-season (October to November) tangerine hybrids that could be grown, alongside Lee, Nova, and Page. It was received as budwood from Florida in 1962. This very early maturing, rather large-fruited variety is a sister to Lee and Osceola, all three resulting from a Clementine mandarin-Orlando tangelo cross made by Gardner and Bellows of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Florida in 1942, and officially released as a cultivar by Reece and Gardner in 1959.
