Looks like, there is another hybrid with same parentage as Mandared, it is called C2710 and they said, it is very promissing hybrid.

On this video, Mandared ( at 7:04) has better pigmentation than C2710 (at 6:57)
Pigmentation of arancio (orange) Doppio Sanguigno is brutal (at 6:43), like after nuclear attack. Laughing

Yesterday I mailed the CRA about the availability of the OTA-9 hybrid. This is their reply...

Quote:

This hybrid was created by the CRA, by cross of Oroval clementine and Tarocco orange. This isn't diffused in commercial orchard for fruit of small size and high seeds number per fruit. In Sicily a factory that produce citrus juices, 10 years ago, planted an orchard of about 600 trees. Ota 9 isn't diffuse in the ornamental citrus nurseries because the fruit drop very early in winter

Ota 9 mandarin (DPI 160) was
released to Dr. Fred Gmitter, UF-CREC
for evaluation under Florida growing
conditions. The variety is a seedy diploid
hybrid, mandarin crossed with a blood
orange (Oroval x Tarocco) with extremely
high levels of anthocyanins, flavonones
and hydroxycinnnamic acids. Consumption
of fruit or juice of this variety could be
promoted for its enhanced nutritional value
as well as the consumers well-being. It is
licensed for restricted use, and originates
from Italy.

"licensed for restricted use"... whatever that means...
