The earliest ripening mandarin oranges and their hybrids are ready in early winter. Those with the deepest red-orange peels are often called tangerines. Mandarins vary in color from orange to deep, nearly reddish orange. Mandarins-the majority of which are smaller and squatter than most oranges–have less acid than oranges, and generally contain more water and less sugar than oranges. The one thing that mandarin oranges have in common is that their peel or skin easily pulls away from their flesh and their segments are easily separated.

Luckily, we never gave up on our Fremont tangerine tree. Family members even encouraged us to replace our “Charlie Brown tree” with a healthier & heartier specimen. Even after the first 2 years, it rarely grew past it’s original three, weak branches. But believing that beauty lies skin deep (and because it cost under $20 bucks), we took this ugly, one gallon duckling home. Back in 2002 it was was the only tree left at the nursery, forgotten and literally the last pick of the litter. No one would ever believe that this tangerine tree was all but a skinny, struggling, “stem like ” specimen. It’s the perfect juicing mandarin and it’s loaded with amazing flavor.
They have seeds are are easy to peel with a medium thick rind.
