I was recently on the Florida Turnpike and stopped at one of the service plazas. They had a stand selling what they called Candy or Candy Page tangerines. Good flavor and looked a little bit like a Page, but the skin was much thicker and they were generally larger than my Pages. The next service plaza also had a stand selling them, but they said they were only called Candy oranges. One of my mother's friends said she had heard of Candy oranges and that they were sweet and very good. These were sweet and very good. Has anyone any idea what these might be? Just another marketing thing? I don't really need another tree, but these were pretty good.

Most likely they are just Page. I haven't found any Candy Page in my citrus database and synonyms. Marketing is like that.
