Fairchild Tangerines

Fairchild tangerines are a hybrid between an Orlando Tangelo and a Clementine.

They are a medium-sized citrus fruit with dark orange skin that peels easily. The skin can be a bit rough-textured at times.

Inside, the fruit is a bright orange with many seeds.

The tree is mostly thornless. The fruit ripens early.

History Notes

Fairchild tangerines were developed by a JR Furr in California for growth in the semi-desert areas of California and Arizona. They were released commercially in 1964.

Random Quote

‘I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we’re talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime ‘associates,’ food, for me, has always been an adventure.’ — Anthony Bourdain (American food writer. 15 June 1956 – 8 June 2018)
