'Sunburst' is a USDA (Florida) hybrid first released in 1979. It is very attractive with brightly colored thin skin, and the flavor is rich. The fruits are more difficult to peel than most and will be seedless without a pollinizer. This variety shows great promise for California but has not been widely tested. Neither the fruits nor the trees are widely available.
In Florida, fruits ripen November and December. This variety hasn't been grown long enough in other regions to have well-known ripening times.
