Mandarin Production

mandarin
Placer County mountain-grown mandarins are justifiably famous for their sweetness and flavor, a result of our warm days and cool nights. Most mandarins produced in Placer County are Owari Satsuma mandarins, which are seedless and easily peeled. Mandarin acreage in Placer County has expanded greatly in the last decade and continues to grow. We also produce small amounts of other citrus including Clementine mandarins, Meyer lemons, kumquats, navel and blood oranges.
