In 1985 a hybrid was obtained by controlled crossing between the mandarin ORAH (female parent) and a mandarin, which later received the varietal name SHANI (pollinator). The seedling of the resulting hybrid was subjected to a radiation irradiation procedure in 1996 and the mutation resulted in a new variety that was released in 2005 and named ODEM. The variety was released by the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture in 2012.
