King mandarin and Mediterranean (Willowleaf) mandarin hybrids

Encore is a late-ripening variety (fully as late as King) originating from a cross between King and Willowleaf mandarins made by H.B. Frost introduced in 1965. The fruit is medium in size with a thin, yellow-orange rind. Flesh colour deep orange; firm in texture, but tender and juicy; flavour rich.

Tree moderately vigorous, upright-growing, and virtually thornless; many slender branches; density of foliage intermediate between the parents. Leaves resembling King, but with narrower blades and petiole wings. Somewhat alternate bearing but productive.
