Cushman HoneyBells

It`s 1945. The war is over. Ed Cushman opens a small store and gift fruit packing plant in West Palm Beach. He packs and ships oranges and grapefruit for tourists and visitors who stop by the store.

 

This particular night was never to be forgotten. All the Cushman's were waiting for a truck load of grapefruit at the loading dock. When it finally arrived, there on the back of the truck (in addition to the grapefruit) were about 20 bushels of the strangest-looking, fiery-red, bell-shaped oranges anyone had ever seen.

 

Ed took one look and said, "What the devil is this?"

 

When everyone had tried one, the consensus was that these were the sweetest oranges in the world. "Sweet as honey," someone said. And Cushman HoneyBells® (  )  were born.

 

Actually,  are not oranges at all. They're an extraordinary hybrid of a Dancy tangerine and a Duncan grapefruit, both seeded fruit. But, mysteriously,  are seedless. The plot thickens.

Despite the fact that  are grafted to a sour orange root stock, are naturally sweeter than any orange ever grown. To add to the intrigue,  have a unique bell shape. And when the  tree reaches maturity, it looks just like a grapefruit tree...but with fiery-red, bell-shaped oranges growing on it. Incredibly juicy (that's what the bib is for). Unbelievably sweet.

 

Here's the clincher.
