While I do have some other types of citrus, the chart above shows the varieties of oranges and mandarins that I grow, along with the months in which their fruit taste best in my yard (twenty miles from the ocean in San Diego County).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eating year&nbsp;basically runs like this: little mandarins starting in the fall, then peeling oranges in the winter, then bigger mandarins in the spring, and finally, slicing oranges in the spring through summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I&#8217;m no citrus expert, nor have I tasted every cultivar of sweet orange or mandarin, I did grow up in a Southern California town that had been established as citrus groves (Glendora), and in fact I attended Citrus College, so throughout my youth I ran through orchards and tasted most all of the common kinds, including the old school, seedy types like Dancy tangerine, a tree of which my grandparents had in their yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to tour the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Citrus Variety Collection at the University of California, Riverside<\/a> where one can taste about a thousand different kinds of citrus fresh off the trees &#8212; no exaggeration, they have about a thousand citrus varieties growing there! During my tour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=c2KfRHpPLfg&amp;t=69s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(part of which was videoed and posted on YouTube)<\/a>, I tasted most of the newer kinds of oranges and mandarins that can be purchased as plants at nurseries in Southern California these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I moved to a new house in 2013, I based my decisions on what to grow in my new yard on those experiences: my citrus-eating youth and my tasting of new varieties at U.C.R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few notes on why I chose the varieties that I chose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu\/citrus\/kishu.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kishu<\/a>, also called Seedless Kishu&nbsp;or Kishu Mini, is the best fruit tree for kids. I wrote about why it&#8217;s&nbsp;God&#8217;s gift to children <a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/the-best-fruit-tree-for-kids-and-the-winner-is-kishu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>, but in summary, the mandarins are&nbsp;not much bigger than a golf ball, the rind&nbsp;comes off so easily that you can peel it one handed, and, &#8220;It&#8217;s a burst of tangy sugar!&#8221; I wrote in my notebook during the tour at U.C.R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted a peeling orange, but instead of the standard Washington navel, which I grew up eating off of my grandparents&#8217; trees, I decided to go with a slight twist and plant a&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu\/citrus\/caracara.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cara Cara navel orange<\/a> tree.&nbsp;It is simply a Washington navel gone&nbsp;pink; a Washington navel tree growing in Venezuela was found with one branch producing fruit that was pink inside. The taste of Washington and Cara Cara are essentially the same &#8212; that is, mostly sweet with little bite &#8212; and both have large juice vesicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1491064899886-e1491065050770.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1491064899886-e1491065050770-711x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Gold Nugget mandarin\" class=\"wp-image-1657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1491064899886-e1491065050770-711x1024.jpg 711w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1491064899886-e1491065050770-600x864.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1491064899886-e1491065050770-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1491064899886-e1491065050770-768x1106.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1491064899886-e1491065050770-1080x1555.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1491064899886-e1491065050770-scaled.jpg 1778w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Gold Nugget mandarin<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu\/citrus\/goldnugget.html\">Gold Nugget mandarins<\/a> are seedless and sweet, and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu\/citrus\/pixie.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixie mandarins<\/a> are seedless and sweet, too. They&#8217;re both ripe from spring into summer. Why not just plant a Pixie&nbsp;<em>or&nbsp;<\/em>a Gold Nugget? For the same reason that I planted both a Kishu and a Satsuma for the fall into winter period: mandarins can have on and off years, but we don&#8217;t want to ever be lacking fresh mandarin fruit. It&#8217;s insurance. And to my taste buds, the Pixie and Gold Nugget mandarins have a certain richness and uniqueness to their sweetness that I enjoy. They&#8217;re also easy to peel, which isn&#8217;t unimportant. Speaking of peels, Gold Nuggets have the bumpiest, and some would say ugliest, peel of any mandarin I&#8217;ve seen, which is fun because it belies the fine flavor of the flesh inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll notice three&nbsp;common threads: great taste, easy to peel, and seedless. All of my choices have those qualities. The reasoning is simple. Why grow a tree whose fruit is hard to peel and seedy when you can grow a tree whose fruit tastes just as good but is easy to peel and seedless?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/img_20170401_095252.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/img_20170401_095252-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Valencia orange tree\" class=\"wp-image-1661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/img_20170401_095252-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/img_20170401_095252-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/img_20170401_095252-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/img_20170401_095252-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/img_20170401_095252-510x382.jpg 510w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/img_20170401_095252-1080x810.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, this monster of a Valencia orange tree takes us through summer. We not only eat its fruit through the hot months, but we use its canopy to sit under, we&#8217;ve hung a swing off of one branch, there are coffee plants and raspberry canes planted under its eastern drip line for afternoon shade. It really does take us through summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But come September and October we&#8217;re pretty much without fresh oranges and mandarins. Wah, wah. Two empty months. Rough life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re making decisions about what citrus to grow in your yard, you ought to read this publication from the University of California titled <a href=\"http:\/\/anrcatalog.ucanr.edu\/pdf\/8472.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Tried and True or Something New? Selected Citrus Varieties for the Home Gardener.&#8221;<\/a> It includes descriptions of most of the varieties that I&#8217;m growing plus many other good ones. (By the way, I&#8217;d originally intended to plant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu\/citrus\/88-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USDA 88-2<\/a> instead of a Satsuma, but I had trouble finding a USDA 88-2 tree to buy at a nursery. USDA 88-2 is very tasty.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update, October 2018:\u00a0<\/strong>The USDA 88-2 mandarin is now being sold by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourwindsgrowers.com\/products\/nova-mandarin-one-year-old-tree\">Four Winds Growers<\/a> in Northern California. They ship to Southern California. The variety is listed by another name, &#8220;Lee x Nova,&#8221; because it is a cross of those two older varieties. Some people have also called this variety &#8220;Supernova.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>You might also like to read my posts:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/satsuma-vs-kishu-comparing-two-early-mandarins\/\"><strong>Satsuma vs. Kishu: comparing two early mandarins<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/when-and-how-to-prune-citrus-trees\/\"><strong>When and how to prune citrus trees<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/dont-spray-for-citrus-leafminers\/\">Don&#8217;t spray for citrus leafminers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/when-to-pick-oranges-and-tangerines\/\">When to pick oranges and tangerines<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citrus are so ubiquitous in Southern California that you might think they&#8217;re native, and they&#8217;re so easy to grow here that I&#8217;ve gone for planting multiple varieties in my yard with the aim of getting fresh fruit off the trees almost every month of the year.
