The mandelo was developed in the 1950s at the UC Citrus Experiment Station, but then escaped into public orchards. It is a white-fleshed tri-specific citrus hybrid between a 'Frua' hybrid mandarin ('Dancy' mandarin × 'King tangor') and a Siamese Sweet pommelo.

This was the first grape released from the breeding efforts of Elmer Swenson, and is a favorite among grape breeders and hobbyists. Though it is known as a red, its actual color changes depending on climate. In cooler areas it will be blue, and in very warm areas it will be a translucent green. This is because many pigments inherited from ""Vitis vinifera"" only set during relatively cool weather. Swenson Red is one of many successful cold hardy grape crosses"

The seeds are eaten by frugivorous birds, which digest the fleshy seed coat and disperse the seeds in their droppings.
