Hybrid orange developed that defies blizzards
In September 1 report from Abington, Professor Webber and team detail the Morton hybrid orange, a cross between Florida sweet orange, Hitle haray, and ornamental Japanese orange. It is described as sweet, hardy, and able to grow further north, with potential to expand orange production into Georgia and Alabama, reaching as far north as Philadelphia. The work began seven to eight years ago, aiming at improved hardiness and flavor, though commercial viability remains uncertain.
