You may find them marketed under the Dimples name. I was fortnate enough to tour an Ojai Pixie grove this year! Also look for Gold Nugget mandarins, another late season gem. This time of year Ojai Pixies are in season and they are one of the best tasting mandarins money can buy. It all depends on the retailer, but if you are reading this at it is near the end of April, then this would be the time to stock up.Īre There Other Mandarins Available after Cuties and Halos are Gone?Įven if you can't find Halos or Cuties anymore, you still may be able to find some last season mandarin varieties. But to answer the question of this post, Cuties or Halos season ends near the end of April to early May. Growers find it harder to sell their mandarins as we get closer to summer, even if they have them in June, although decades ago no one could imagine having them much past Christmas, so we have come along way.

Stores need places to put these products. When May rolls around, peaches, nectarines, cherries, plums, etc start coming into season. One of the biggest factors that most consumers don't think about when it comes to the end of the season is store shelf space. So how long do I have left to enjoy these easy to peel, seedless fruit? When Do Cuties or Halos Go out of Season? Unlike Kleenex, Cuties, Halos, and every other mandarin does not remain on store shelves year round. This is just like Kleenex the brand is used to describe all types of tissues. People are using these terms to describe all mandarins or tangerines (much to my cirginy). No doubt that biggest success in the produce department in recent years has been the marketing of mandarins under the names 'Cuties' or 'Halos'.
