Many of the tangelo cultivars were developed in USA.

Orlando is of the same parentage as Minneola and Seminole—a hybrid of Duncan grapefruit and Dancy tangerine. Pearl is a cross of Imperial grapefruit and Willowleaf. The cross was made by Howard. B Frost at the California Citrus Experiment Station in 1929. Sunshine is of the same parentage as Minneola and Orlando. Allspice redulted from a cross of Imperial grapefruit and Willowleaf mandarin. Mandalo has King Mandarin, Dancy tangerine and Siamese sweet pommel genotypes.
