Tangerine 'Fairchild' Plant (Citrus reticulata)

The Fairchild tangerines, a small to medium-sized variety, exhibit unique qualities. Their round shape with a flattened top and bottom, and textured rind ripening from yellow-orange to dark orange, make them visually appealing. The flesh is divided into segments, firm yet tender, with a succulent and fine-textured consistency. Fairchild tangerines have low acidity, offering a sweet and subtly tangy flavor. 

These tangerines are known as the "first of the season" and can be harvested from late winter to spring, extending the enjoyment. They are favored by growers for their vigorous growth making them popular for home gardens. Fairchild tangerines are enjoyed fresh, cooked, or in beverages.
