Are mandarins an autumn fruit or a winter fruit?/ Slow Mexican Spanish

For me, mandarins smell like autumn in Mexico. They remind me of late October, Día de Muertos, cempasúchil flowers, pan de muerto, and the beautiful aromas of the season. But I discovered something fascinating: in other parts of the world, mandarins are strongly connected with winter traditions.
