0PI 539531'Daisy'Citrus reticulata Blanco California, United StatesRIV1980DEVELOPED1963CultivarDaisy mandarin, a hybrid between Fortune and Fremont...looks like it may be better than either of its parents. Daisy produces a medium-large, mid-season mandarin with attractive dark orange rind. It peels and sections well. It is moderately seedy with one to three seeds per section. Flavor was excellent in mid-January at Lindcove this past season. Daisy may well be worth commercial trial. Foundation budwood will be available in the fall of 1987. (Nauer et al, 1986)

...like all mandarins, Daisy has its disadvantages, and these appear to be seediness, a strong tendency to be highly alternate bearing, and granulation of larger sized fruits. (Nauer et al, 1988)

Excessive splitting of fruits noted in Variety Collection, this may prove to be one of Daisy's weak points. (EM Nauer, 11/22/1988)

The tree produces a heavy crop with the fruit held in large clusters, but has a strong tendancy to be highly alternate bearing. Daisy is moderately seedy with one to three seeds per section. (OJ Bier, ca 2000)

'Daisy' was named after the wife of well-known California citrus nurserymen Dowlin Young. The story is that this hybrid did not receive much attention, but that Mrs Young enjoyed its taste while visiting the Date and Citrus Station in Indio. Therefore, John Carpenter named it Daisy. One variant of this tale (from Art Futterman) states that when the Youngs revisited the Station, JBC did not remember this. 'Daisy' mandarin is reasonably well known in California but has apparently not been used much in other areas. A note in the archival file on this maintained at UC Riverside and NCGRCD states that 'Daisy' was "not officially released by USDA". However, it was sent to CCPP for clean up and was released to the industry by UC. This may have been associated with the termination of the US Date and Citrus Station in 1982.
