Sweet Tangerine Fruit in My backyard

Sweet tangerines

Tangerine is varieties of citrus, come from place called Tangier, Morocco. Tangerine with scientific name Citrus tangerina is hybrid of Mandarin (Citrus reticulata), well known fruit of China's origin. The fruit first time come to Florida, USA is a quite long time ago, around 1800s.

Florida once to be center of Tangerine production in the USA. However, diseases created great loss to tangerine farmers, especially in the last 11 years. Bacteria spread by insects, psyllid caused wrinkling fruits, then trees died slowly.

Branches bear a lot of fruits

California replaces Florida as center for Tangerine production in the USA currently. California has produced 41 percent of citrus, include Tangerine, Valencia and Navel. Tangerine is growing popular right now. 

We planted a Tangerine tree in the backyard and harvest the fruits in November every year. The citrus has thin and loose skin; thus, we could pull away the skin from the fruit easily. The orange is sweet, even as one of the sweetest fruits I ever eat. 

In the southern parts of USA (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas), Tangerine grows well, and the fruits ripe from October to January. Many people said that Tangerines sweeter and stronger flavor than other oranges. 

Why not Just try it?

  6. I must admit I'm not very fond of the citrus fruits (oranges, tangerines, clementines). I sometimes eat clementines (which are smaller than the first two) in winter, when I have a cold. It helps with the symptoms.

  7. Buena y rica fruta, tanto las mandarinas como las naranjas su vitamina C es muy buena para los resfriados. Tengo varios cítricos en mi jardín y suelo recoger muy buenas cosechas. Esta zona del levante español es muy famosa precisamente por sus buenos cítricos. Las mejores naranjas y mandarinas se suelen dar precisamente en esta comunidad "Comunidad valenciana" Tengo un post publicado y dedicado a esta maravillosa fruta las naranjas y mandarinas por si te apetece leer.

  17. How wonderful to have your own tangerine tree. How many years did it take to produce fruit? I like tangerines and other citrus with thin skins because, as you say, it makes them easier to eat! When I was growing up, each child received an orange in our stocking - back then, it was considered a treat!!!
