This study aims to present the basic horticultural characterization of the new tangor cultivar ‘URSBRS Hada’. By way of evaluations at the conditions of the Central Depression region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, the cultivar shows late ripening (October to December). Its fruits might be destined either for juice or for fresh consumption. The cultivar presents tolerance to diseases like citrus canker, black spot and alternaria brown spot under field conditions. The fruits have an obloid shape, yellowish to yelloworange peel color and are quite juicy, with high contents of soluble solids and high acidity. Furthermore, it is a very productive cultivar, yielding 20-25 t ha-1 per year. In summary, the tangor cultivar ‘URSBRS Hada’ presents itself as a feasible varietal option for the citrus industry.
