Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Dancy', which ripens in December, is often called the Christmas Tangerine. 'Dancy' is prized for its larger than normal, easy-to-peel fruits and ability to hold on to the tree longer than other varieties. However, if left on the tree too long, fruits will become pithy and dry.
