Clementine Tangerine Tree
There are different types of tangerines but
the most well-known
are the Clementine and the Japanese Satsuma. The Clementine is a hybrid of tangerine and the
Seville or bitter orange developed in 1902 near Oran, Algeria by Father Clement
Rodier, a French missionary.
The result of this lucky crossing was a seedless mandarin with a looser skin,
making it easier to peel: the Clementine.
The satsuma is a crossing from Japan. Some of the best tangerines can easily be
selected in the store because they have a strong and sweet smell. If you
find such tangerines buy them, you will not be disappointed.

What do tangerine names mean?
Tangerine, Satsuma orange and mandarin orange are
common names for the species Citrus reticulata. Mandarin orange is the preferred
common name according to Hortus Third. 'Clementine' is a cultivar (cultivated
variety) of Citrus reticulata. Satsuma orange is also the name of a
horticultural class of mandarin oranges that are the most cold hardy of
commercial citrus. The horticultural class, Satsuma orange, includes several
cultivars of Citrus reticulata. Wyman (1986) notes that tangerines tend to be
smaller than Satsumas with orange skin and flesh. Satsumas tend to be larger
than tangerines with a more yellow skin and flesh.
The Mandarin orange includes several varieties of
citrus fruit, including the Mandarin (China), Tangerine (named for Tangier,
Morocco, where they were first imported from China), Dancy, Clementine
and Satsuma (Japan). They vary in size, sweetness, and whether they have
seeds or not, but they all have loose skins that slip off easily. They were
introduced into the U.S. in 1882. Most canned mandarin oranges are made
from Satsumas.
Our Citrus trees
are ready to fruit, not little saplings. Yes you can buy citrus trees on the
internet for $16.99 and Yugo's also sold for a lot less than a Lexus.
With nursery plants you will get exactly what you paid for. Production cost
are about the same, within a dollar or two for all of us, plant production is
about the most equal opportunity lose or win enterprise there is. Ask
the "grower" or web site for a photo and guarantee of the size of the
plant. Our plants are ready to bear fruit, some even come with fruit ready to
eat, many come with fruit that just needs more growing time. Do you really want
to wait 1 to 2 years for the tree to fruit and after going to the trouble of
getting it shipped to you? Citrus trees only begin producing well after several
years of growing and $16.99 buys about a 6 to 9 month year old plant. Ours are
typically 2
to 3 years old in
years or more of age, sent flowering, fruiting or ready to get started on both.
Our trees are
typically sold in #5
or #7 containers. We
have #15, 24", 36" and 48" box sizes also. Your best value
for long distance shipping are our #5 or #7 plants. But if you or your garden
need a big fruit tree then try our 24" box and
36" box sizes. That also means these are big
plants and require some effort to pack and ship. Orders in AZ, CA & NV may
delivered to you, depending on sizes and season. Prices
and check out do not include total
shipping
or delivery charges.
Central Valley and Los Angeles region customers may choose to pick up their
order at the farm. Total shipping costs are based upon quantity of plants
bought, your location and how fast you want the plants there. A
single Citrus tree purchase would typically cost $18.00 from $28.00 per plant to
ship. Volume
shipping discounts apply from 3 or more trees. Out
5 gallon plants weigh about 25 to 35 pounds. We guarantee the fruit trees to be
free of disease for 12 months.
