Description/Taste
Pixie tangerines appears to be, simply, a tangerine. The most important trademark to distinguish it from most tangerines, though, is that the Pixie tangerine is always seedless. Individual fruits may vary in shape and size as well as texture and juiciness but will not contain seeds. They can be rounded to ovate, with flat bottoms, and have a juicy to lean flesh. Their skin is pebbled and leathery with a fragrant, thin peel. The flesh is segmented, easy to peel, sweet and aromatic.
Seasons/Availability
Pixie tangerines are a late season variety tangerine and are available from late winter until early spring.
Current Facts
The Pixie tangerine was developed by Howard B. Frost at the University of California Citrus Research Center at Riverside in 1927. The Pixie is a hybrid result of an open cross pollination between a King Mandarin and a Kincy tangerine, the most popular and prolific of all tangerines.
