In 1876, the first Satsuma mandarin (born in Japan 400 years ago) was imported to the United States.

From there, it will spread to Florida and later in California. It was planted on the grounds of the consulate in New Orleans. Thus, around 1840, a mandarine was imported from China by the Italian consul stationed in the United States. It will end up in Europe and America only in the 19th century, making its entry rather timidly, on the initiative of a few individuals who imported plants. It was known in China and Japan for a long time: a work from 1178 mentions a few distinct varieties, which indicates an ancient culture. Originally from Southeast Asia, China and perhaps the Philippines, the mandarin is the most diverse species of citrus. History of the clementine and the tangerine Fines (Spain and Corsica) and the nules oroval (of Spain) finish the season until February. Follow the clementine of Monreal (from Spain) and the ordinary clementine (the Morocco and Spain) which contain seeds. The first, bekria specie, arrive in Morocco in September. The flesh is juicy and tart (but less fragrant than mandarin), and usually seedless. This fruit is a cross between a mandarin and a bigaradier (bitter orange).
