BACKGROUND OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Citrus plant, botanically known as Citrus sp. and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘18A-9-39’.
The new Citrus cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ is a triploid hybrid from an interploid cross, made in Gainesville, Florida, of a diploid monoembryonic ‘Clementine’ mandarin (Citrus clementina or Citrus reticulata) (female parent; not patented) crossed with an allotetrapliod somatic hybrid (protoplast fusion) of [‘LB8-9’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,356, commercially available as Sugar Belle) ‘Clementine’ mandarin, Citrus clementina or Citrus reticulata (not patented) x ‘Minneola’ tangelo (‘Duncan’ grapefruit, Citrus paradisi x ‘Dancy’ tangerine (Citrus reticulata) (not patented)]+[‘Murcott’ tangor (Citrus reticulata Blanco x Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck)] (unnamed pollen parent; not patented); obtained via embryo rescue. The original tree was planted in a growing facility in Gainesville, Florida, and was grafted to ‘Swingle’ citrumelo rootstock in June of 2010. True-to-typeness through asexual propagation was demonstrated by three additional trees grafted to ‘UFR-17’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,091) rootstock and planted in Gainesville, Florida, in Fall of 2016.
Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar have not been applied for. The new Citrus cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing of this application.
SUMMARY
The new Citrus cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature, light intensity, fertilization, irrigation, and application of plant growth regulators without any change in genotype.
The new Citrus cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ produces a Clementine-sized, easy-peel, nearly seedless tangerine-type fruit with a very rich, sweet, and pleasant flavor. Fruit matures in early December and holds well through January. Fruit colors well on the tree under Florida conditions (without cold induction), both internally and externally, with bright orange external color becoming more intense in late December and January. Fruit can generally be picked without clipping, as only an occasional fruit plugs. Fruit of ‘18A-9-39’ has a high sugar content and sweet yet rich flavor. This selection has potential to compete in the lucrative easy-to-peel snack citrus market (for example, CUTIES® fruit, Sun Pacific Shippers, L.P. and HALOS® fruit, The Wonderful Company LLC). Existing trees have yielded quite well, especially on ‘UFR-17’ rootstock. For example, yield data from 3.5-year-old trees on ‘C-35’ rootstock (not patented) showed the average production per tree was 70.8 kg of fruit with a mean fruit weight of approximately 110 g, which his similar to that of ‘Clementine’. Observed cropping on ‘UFR-17’ has been comparable to that of heavy cropping ‘W. Murcott’ (not patented) and ‘Tango’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,863) mandarin varieties. ‘W. Murcott’ is not patented, but some authorities believe ‘W. Murcott’ may be identical to a mandarin cultivar known as ‘Afourer’ (not patented) and also as ‘Nadorcott’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,480). Fruit on trees having ‘UFR-17’ rootstock is larger and peels easier than the fruit on the original tree. Tolerance to HLB (Huanglongbing or Citrus greening disease) has been good, and even better than most mandarin hybrids in the Applicant's breeding program, especially with the trees on ‘UFR-17’ rootstock that have been grown with supplemental FLORIKAN® CRF (controlled release fertilizer) (Profile Products LLC) that contains an enhanced micronutrient package. Plantings on additional rootstocks are needed to determine optimal performance.

 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CULTIVAR
The following detailed description of the new Citrus cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ was obtained using a 4-5 year-old tree growing on ‘UFR-17’ rootstock in Lake Alfred, Florida, growing in well-drained sands and soil with poor organic content. The tree was growing under subtropical growing conditions, with hot, humid, and rainy summers (June through August) and mild but variable weather the rest of the year, and generally with a few mild freezes. Leaf and flower data was collected in March, and mature fruit data was collected in November. The colors (except those in common terms) are described from R. H. S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society in London (Second Edition), in association with the Flower Council of Holland.

Comparison with Known Cultivars
The new Citrus cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ can be distinguished from later season ‘W. Murcott’ and ‘Tango’ varieties (for example, those sold commercially as CUTIES® and HALOS®) in that the color of the fruit of the new cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ develops much more robustly under typical Florida conditions than these commercial varieties, and the fruit of ‘18A-9-39’ is also more flavorful. However, fruit from cross-pollinated blocks can contain an average of 2 seeds per fruit, whereas the commercial varieties CUTIES® and HALOS® rarely have seeds due to cultivation practices (for example, ‘W. Murcott’ trees in California are covered with nets during bloom to prevent cross pollination, and thus seed production in the fruit; otherwise, ‘W. Murcott’ fruit contains many seeds). Evidence suggests that most of the fruit of ‘18A-9-39’ will be seedless if the trees are grown in a solid block (for example, as the commercial variety Sugar Belle), especially if planted blocks are not immediately adjacent to sweet oranges or grapefruit.
The new Citrus cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ can be distinguished from its parental cultivar ‘Clementine’ in that ‘18A-9-39’ displays later maturity and a more robust flavor. The new Citrus cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ can be distinguished from its parental cultivar ‘Murcott’ in that ‘18A-9-39’ has a more vivid orange external color, whereas ‘Murcott’ has a poor external color. The new Citrus cultivar ‘18A-9-39’ can be distinguished from its parental cultivar ‘LB8-9’ (Sugar Belle) and somatic hybrids fruit of [‘Murcott’+‘LB8-9’] in that fruit of ‘18A-9-39’ are smaller than those of ‘LB8-9’ and somatic hybrids fruit of [‘Murcott’+‘LB8-9’].
