11/28/2023 0 Comments Tangerine tree varieties'Owari' is the standard Satsuma and in terms of flavor, all the other Satsuma varieties are either the same as, or inferior to owari (although I don't know specifically about Miho). It's just my personal preference, but none of the other mandarins are really in the same class as Satsuma and Kishu (although I haven't tried the really rare ones). Is anyone growing Xie Shan, Lee x Nova (aka Supernova), China S-9, or any of the UCR "Gold" varieties? These are the ones I know least about. I do like a nice sugar / acid balance in a mandarin. Laura: Thanks for the data point on Miho. I like Gold Nugget because it has such a late and long season compared to other mandarins. John: Yes I have heard Pixie is a great seedless cultivar, Gold Nugget is described as Pixie-like which is understandable as the fruit looks similar and also has great flavor. I believe UCR has an irradiated seedless Fremont in the works.something to look at down the road. I have a Fremont planted and other than heavily seeded fruit it is amazing in flavor and longevity of season. I am not surprised the fruit is great tasting though as one of the parents is Fremont. Not sure if this is related but I just read that it may be a chimera and some limbs can have seedy fruit. DaisySL appears to have been removed from the UCR CCPP budwood offering. I have a Gold Nugget tree and other than appearance the fruit is amazing, just wanted to hear some other opinions on it. Back to the mandarins.īrett: I think Miho and Gold Nugget are two more finalists. New Zealand Lemonade, Australian Finger Lime, and Smith Red Valencia are others I'm considering. Steve: I have a Nagami in my grove and do not use a lot of kumquats but have heard great things about Meiwa so I plan to add one.
