Citrus reticulata Emperor Mandarin Dwarf

The Emperor mandarin is a classic, much-loved variety, prized for its loose, puffy skin that makes peeling quick and easy. It develops excellent colour and a rich, sweet flavour, with only a small number of seeds. Once mature, the tree is capable of producing a heavy crop of fruit that can be left on the tree and picked gradually, rather than all at once. It produces fragrant, creamy-white blossoms that give way to medium-sized, bright orange fruit ripening from June to July. Ideal for modern gardens, the dwarf form is perfectly suited to growing in tubs, espaliered along a fence, or in courtyards and balcony spaces. For best results, position it in a warm, sunny spot and provide regular watering during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and high-quality fruit
