I liked the Yosemite Gold fruit you gave me the other day and shared it with my wife and she commented that it tasted less like a Mandarin and more like our navels and I think she has a point.

When we had a "special" small crowd tour at Gene Lester's, one of the person bought a Tango, it is marked on the peel. And yes, I agree that the Yosemite Gold tends towards the navel in flavor, but the way they peel off are more like satsuma mandarins. And the size, they're really bigger than the satsumas. The week before you came, I can't resist but eat the last of my Gold Nugget. If you told me that you're coming before then, I would have saved it.
