Mor

Mor is a late season Tangor mandarin. It is a medium size fruit with an oblate shape and a slightly furrowed stem-end. The peel is very thin and slightly brittle, but is relatively easy to remove. The flesh is fairly firm but is delicious with intense sweetness and a good balance of tartness with plenty of juice. The fruit is more or less seedless, though some do occasionally occur.

Growers are attracted to Mor for its late maturity; similar eating quality to Murcott, but with fewer seeds; and productive, yet small trees.
