Citrus reticulata
Mandarin
Notes

Uses: The most popular Mandarin grown in gardens. Has a sweet fruit that's easy to peel with few seeds. Fruit ripens late autumn, into early winter. To get larger fruit you can thin out some of the small buds early in the season.
Other varieties of C. reticulata include C. reticulata ‘Imperial', C.reticulata ‘Emperor', C. reticulata ‘Clementine’ and C.reticulata ‘Ellendale’. Dwarf varieties are available for areas where space is limited. See your local nursery for further information.
