Family: Rutaceae
Origin: Tangier, Morocco (Introduced to the U.S. in the 19th century)

The Dancy Tangerine (Citrus reticulata 'Dancy') is a classic citrus variety often associated with the winter holiday season. Known for its deep orange color, easy-to-peel "zipper" skin, and rich, sweet flavor, the Dancy Tangerine has long been a favorite among citrus lovers. This tangerine’s small to medium-sized fruits are not only delicious but also visually striking, making them a popular choice for holiday displays and gift baskets.

Distinctive Features and Uses

Leaves: The Dancy Tangerine tree features glossy, dark green leaves that provide a lush, evergreen appearance year-round. The foliage is dense and compact, making the tree an attractive ornamental addition to any garden or patio.

Fruits: Dancy Tangerines are small to medium-sized, with a smooth, deep orange skin that is easy to peel. The flesh is juicy, sweet, and flavorful, with a slight tang that balances the sweetness. The fruit is often seedless or has very few seeds, making it perfect for fresh eating, juicing, and adding to salads and desserts.

Uses: Dancy Tangerines are incredibly versatile and are ideal for fresh consumption, juicing, and culinary uses. Their vibrant color and sweet flavor make them a festive addition to holiday dishes, and they are often enjoyed as a healthy, refreshing snack during the winter months.

Dancy Tangerine is akin to the great grandparent of all contemporary tangelos and mandarins. Dancy Tangerine is a citrus tree with longevity in its roots, originally cultivated in 1843 Florida, before air conditioning, bug spray, and sunscreen. This plant’s preference for the Florida climate is why we can still readily enjoy bounties of delicious sweet, tangy, and juicy fruit. The Dancy Tangerine variety is a semi-dwarf citrus tree, that can reach up to 15 feet at full maturity. It has heavily fragrant blooms, and fruits right around the December holiday season. In fact, Dancy Tangerines were traditionally gifted as a token of abundant health for Christmas, and the Chinese New Year. Continue the legacy of the Dancy Tangerine, and enjoy golden holiday seasons for years to come.
