Dancy

Dancy traces its origin to a seedling tree growing in the orchard of Colonel G. L. Dancy of Orange Mills in 1867, from a seed of Moragne tangerine. Although introduced to the industry as early as 1872, its commercial propagation was begun about 1890 by the Rolleston Nursery at San Mateo. It is an exceptionally good tangerine variety that produces quality fruit.
