  • The Mandarin is a small evergreen citrus TREE with shiny, green, and rather small LEAVES.  Over summer FLOWERS appear which are heavily perfumed.  FRUIT start to ripen over winter which are small and orange and have a robust sweet taste. Skin is normally thin.  Mandarins usually flourish in the smaller garden but can also be grown in a container on a sunny balcony or deck.  FEED your mandarin tree in spring and summer to encourage maximum fruiting and flowering. They normally smother themselves in fruit and is therefore well worth growing. Citrus are usually self-fertile.  HARVEST May to September. Make enquiries as to which varieties we have available now or see our online catalogue.
