This South African hybrid variety (Citrogold) is a mutation of Furr and therefore a cross between a clementine and a Murcott. Its calendar positions it between the second part of the Nova campaign and the start of the Nadorcott campaign (January-February). The fruits, which are a pronounced orange-cum-red, are rounded in shape, with a diameter of 65-80 mm and a weight of 130-200 g. The juice content is 50 %, with a Brix of up to 14°. In agronomic terms, one of its major advantages is its tolerance to Alternaria. Plantations are limited to 2 200 ha in South Africa (already distributed) and to 2 000 ha in Spain (CVVP managed).
