Tangerine trees, scientifically known as Citrus reticulata, are small evergreen trees that produce sweet, orange-colored fruits called tangerines. They thrive in warm, subtropical climates and require well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. These trees can grow up to 20 feet tall and are often cultivated in orchards for their delicious fruit. The tangerine fruit is known for its easy-to-peel skin and juicy segments, making it a popular snack. Tangerines are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and are enjoyed fresh or used in various culinary dishes. They are also related to other citrus fruits like oranges and lemons.
