The Dancy Tangerine is a classic and historic mandarin variety, often referred to as the original “tangerine” in the United States. It produces small to medium fruit with deep orange-red skin and rich, aromatic flesh that is sweet with a pleasant tang. Known for its bold, traditional citrus flavor, Dancy is valued for fresh eating and its early-season ripening. This productive tree performs well in warm climates and is a great choice for home gardens.
