Taste Test New Citrus

The citrus have been ripening on their for a while now. I did not want to rush to pick them. For many of the trees, this is the first harvest.

today I picked a
(# 10. on list) Clementine Tangerine - very good, a bit seedy, true tangerine flavor with loose skin
(# 11. on list) Orange – Trovita Orange - good flovor, a bit dry and seedy, thick skin, easy to peel.
