Tahoe Gold Mandarin Trees for Sale
Citrus made easy for growers, nurseries, and distributors
The Tahoe Gold mandarin is a premium mid-season variety developed by the University of California Riverside’s citrus breeding program. A hybrid of Temple tangor, Dancy mandarin, and Encore mandarin, it belongs to the same “Gold” series as Shasta and Yosemite but stands out for its rich flavor, deep color, and reliable cropping. The fruit of the mandarin Tahoe Gold is medium-sized, seedless, and easy to peel, with a bright orange rind and firm, juicy flesh that combines sweetness with a pleasant tang. Its flavor is exceptionally rich for a mid-season mandarin.
A mature Tahoe Gold mandarin tree produces heavy, consistent crops and is prized for its uniform size and high internal quality. The fruit ripens from January through March in most California citrus districts, slotting perfectly between early Satsuma varieties and the late-season Shasta Gold. Tahoe Gold’s rind color develops early, providing excellent visual appeal even before peak maturity, and the fruit holds well on the tree without significant puffiness or granulation. Its balanced acid-to-sugar ratio gives it a refreshing taste that appeals to premium fresh fruit markets and long-term storage programs alike.
Tree growth is moderately vigorous with an upright habit, producing dense foliage that benefits from periodic light pruning to maintain air circulation and sunlight exposure. In warm inland valleys and coastal citrus regions, Tahoe Gold tangerine trees produce exceptionally colored fruit with high juice content and consistent internal quality across harvests.
