Fairchild Tangerine Tree

This "First of the Season" tangerine is known for its "zipper skin." The Fairchild displays a good orange exterior with a bright orange interior. The texture will vary from smooth to somewhat pebbly and the fruit has seeds.  Fairchild tangerines are a cross between a Clementine tangerine and an Orlando tangelo. The skin is a deep orange, somewhat pebbly, and peels easily. It is juicy with a rich and sweet flavor.

Fairchild mandarin is a hybrid of Clementine mandarin and Orlando tangelo. The cross was made by J. R. Furr at the U.S Date and Citrus Station at Indio, California, and the variety was released in 1964. It has proven to be particularly well-suited to the California and Arizona deserts where it provides an early season fruit for the market. Fairchild trees are vigorous with a wide-spreading habit. For best fruit production, a pollinator is necessary. The fruit is medium-sized, oblate in shape, and has a thin, slightly pebbled, dark orange rind. Fairchild is not especially easy to peel and the fruits typically contain many seeds, but the flesh is quite juicy and the flavor is rich and sweet.
