What is a Honey Tangerine?
A honey tangerine is also known as a Murcott orange and is grown only in Florida. The exact origin of the fruit is uncertain, but it’s thought to be a mix of a tangerine and a sweet orange, which is called a tangor. The name Murcott refers to Charles Murcott Smith who ran a nursery in Bayview, Florida and is thought to have developed the honey tangerine in the early 1920s. J. Ward Smith and W.T. Swindle are also said to have been involved in the creation of the honey tangerine.
