Current Facts
The Yosemite Gold tangerine is a fairly new hybrid citrus developed by the University of California Riverside's citrus breeding program in 2002. This tangerine resulted as a hybrid between the Temple tangor as parent, and a Dancy and Encore mandarin hybrid as the other. The Yosemite Gold tangerine is sometimes called a mandarin, but these are the same fruits.
