Mandarins are suddenly a hot topic for California growers.
It is a new world of experimentation and risk for farmers and diversity for citrus lovers. Mandarins are generally smaller and flatter than oranges with looser rinds and segments and a distinctive spicy aroma. Indigenous to China and northeastern India, they are one of three original species of citrus, along with pummelos and citrons. All other citrus fruits arose from these three as hybrids and mutations, including oranges which are crosses between mandarins and pummelos. Mandarins grow wild in China and have been cultivated there for thousands of years but came to California around 1870.
