You'll find the tangerine to be more tart, while the clementine is quite sweet. Tangerines will be a brighter orange than clementines.
#Mandarin vs tangerine skin
Also, consider the skin color of the fruit. On a clementine, the skin will be smooth and soft. Mandarin, though it refers to a Chinese language, is not a Chinese word. On a tangerine, you'll find bumpy, rough skin. Both are members of citrus fruit family, Rutaceae. Mandarin has thin skin that is smooth and thinner and is easier to peel. My boss is a former fruit farmer and he never shut up about it haha, also my neighbour and I share 6 now defunct some fruit trees, including a Satsuma plum, on our property line, and half a dozen olive trees as well )Įdit: further info - the Satsuma is part of the hybrid Amber Jewel plum (red skin/pale flesh, also my personal favorite) and the Black Beauty (Dark Purple skin/black purple flesh) and was Askaig part of hybridisation of pages and plums to make the dark fleshed nectarine, according to people I know who are professional for growers. Satsumas, tangerines and clementines are all in the mandarin family however, tangerine usually refers to the varieties bearing a more darkly colored peel. Tangerine fruit is darker in skin color, being reddish orange. Source: I live in a major fruit production town in Western Australia where many of the modern hybrids originated (in apples, stone fruit and citrus.
Most remaining trees are domestic, these days. The fruit is flat, small compared to Navel. It has been pretty much hybridised out of production now, but 20 years ago it was a prolific commercial variety of red skinned, dark pulp plum. Tangerine tree is smaller than orange, with slender branching and foliage-deep-green leaves with pointed ends. Satsuma is also the name of a plum variety grown in Australia, I don't know it's origin though.
