fresh Mandarin- Honey tangerine

Description

 

February till Marsh

The Murcott fruit is medium in size, averaging from 2½ - 3 inches in diameter and has a shape that is typical of a true tangerine. The peel color is reddish orange and may be yellow orange in warmer winters, smooth, and while it can be peeled by hand it is somewhat more difficult to peel than a tangerine. The flesh is a rich orange color. Seed number will vary from *2 to *4 seeds per fruit and are white in color when cut.

The fruit matures in January-March making it the latest maturing tangerine type fruit, and it has excellent qualities for the fresh fruit market.
