• Details and product description

  Introduction:

  The Mandarin tree is 5 to 8 m high, more or less thorny, with lanceolate leaves. Axillary flowers are small and white-coloured. Fruits, often oblate, have a thin and non adherent skin, orange to red-coloured. The pip's embryo has a particular green colour. It was crossbred with the bitter orange tree in Algeria by Father Clement; the Mandarin Tree has produced the clementine tree, the fruit of which is more precocious and almost seedless. With present agronomic knowledge, it is quite possible to grow seedless mandarins. 

  History:

  The Mandarin tree was imported from Indochina in 1828 and planted in the western part of the Mediterranean basin spreading into all continents between the Equator and the latitudes 40°-54° North and South.
