Fairchild Mandarin is an early-season mandarin hybrid suited to California and Arizona desert districts. Its medium-sized, oblate fruit has a dark-orange rind and orange flesh. The fruit is juicy, contains many small polyembryonic seeds, and can be difficult to peel. Trees are vigorous, broad-spreading, densely foliated, nearly thornless, and productive.[1]
