tangerine tree

Small orange grower

A tangerine tree is a citrus tree that produces tangerines—small, sweet oranges with loose, easily peeled skin.

Native to Southeast Asia, tangerine trees are cultivated in warm climates worldwide.

They're smaller than most citrus trees, often grown in home gardens or containers: The tangerine tree in the backyard produced more fruit than we could eat.
