Turns out this particular grower had a few trees of Mineola tangelos, and they almost looked like orange bells. “My dad came up with the name ‘HoneyBell’,” says Allen Cushman, now president of the company. “The fruit is a cross between a Dancy tangerine and a Duncan grapefruit. It’s bigger than an orange and extremely juicy ... absolutely delicious,” he proclaims.
