Mandarins
Our Mandarin Range
Because of their dense foliage, mandarins make surprisingly good hedges and decorative feature trees. On top of that, they produce some of the nicest fruit in the citrus family. They peel easily and make a very easy on-the-go snack for school or work.
They can sometimes be biennial, producing fruit every other year. Removing some of the developing fruits can sometimes help reduce the risk of this happening.
