Gold Nugget Tangerine

The Summertime Tangerine!

Gold Nugget is a recently-released mandarin variety developed within the University of California Riverside citrus breeding program. The tree grows vigorously and is upright in form. It can grow to a moderately-large size at maturity. Gold Nugget fruits are usually medium in size and oblate in form with a somewhat bumpy orange rind. The aromatic rind is moderately easy to peel. The flesh is bright orange, finely-textured, and seedless. The flavor is rich and sweet. The fruit usually matures by early March, but holds exceptionally well on the tree, with summer-harvested fruit still being of good quality.

Gold Nugget -- a seedless, sweet tangerine with an extraordinarily long harvest season -- has become the first new UCR citrus variety to be released for commercial production since the mid-1980s.
More than 30 years in the making, the new tangerine -- also known as a mandarin -- received its descriptive name from its bright orange, slightly bumpy rind. But Gold Nugget is particularly regarded for its rich, sweet flavor. Additionally, it is seedless, a highly-sought attribute for the fresh fruit market.

“It also holds very well on the tree,” said Mikeal Roose, a UCR professor of genetics who since 1986 has directed continued development of the Gold Nugget variety. “In Riverside, the fruit is good-tasting when picked from the tree anytime between February and May or June.”

Gold Nugget is a cross between two tangerines -- Wilking and Kincy -- non-commercial varieties also developed at UCR
