Fairchild tangerines are a cross between a Clementine tangerine and an Orlando tangelo. The skin is thin with a deep orange, somewhat pebbly, and doesn't peel as easily as some other tangerines. It is juicy with a rich and sweet flavour. The Fairchild tangerine is the first variety to ripen during the season in North America. It is a popular variety in the United States. The flesh contains seeds. Fairchild tangerines are sometimes found with the stem and leaves still attached. The Chinese believe the stems and leaves attached to the tangerine are a symbol of prosperity and good luck. It is available from October until the middle of January. The Fairchild tangerine is one of California's most heavily planted varieties. It is also a popular item in the grocery stores during the winter holidays.
