Shiranui Tangerine
Comments (51)well i was trying to figure out what wrong with a tree and while i was just standing there i saw large root on top of the ground. i started to dig around it and found out it wasn't from my citrus tree. Instead it came from a peach tree that is planted about 15 feet away from it. The peach tree root was about 2 inches in diameter and it went around citrus tree roots several times and looked like over the years just been suffocating it. i pulled out wheelbarrow full of roots. Dekopon is already starting to show recovery signs. Never thought something like this could happen....See MoreHelp me decide which tangerine
Comments (8)Pixie is small but has good flavor. It is also seedless which is a plus. I have tried growing it 2 times here in Indio, where it is ExtReamLy hot in summer and lost it both times. You will have better luck just about anywhere else in CA. There are several varieties of Satsuma, however the nurseries usually only have one and so sell it under the name satsuma. They are the earliest of all and the season is usually very short. Generally small, easy to peal, and good medium flavor. Satsuma generally do better close to, but not on, the coast, where summers are not to hot. Minneola is part grapefruit in it's parentage, and needs lots of heat. They do well here in Indio. Don't pick them when they first color up. They need at least a couple more months to get a little sweeter. Try them around March or later....See MoreUpdate on Northern VA Hardy Sweet Citrandarin Oct 18 2013
Comments (6)yeah Mike, John , Dave and I are the northern VA hardy citrus council ;-) Yes Dave's rooted cuttings are from this tree. He got 7 to root this summer and one graft to take (so far) that he grafted on his citrumelo. Boca Joe...See MoreMost flavor-packed, powerfully, intensely flavored mandarin/tangerine?
Comments (9)I want some mandarin trees to simply eat the mandarins. I don't plan on squeezing or juicing. I'll just eat them right off the tree. But I want varieties you can't find in stores, and the varieties with the most flavor. After a bit more research, I think the Page Mandarin might be a good choice for me flavor wise. And maybe Lee as well. A Page is a hybrid of Mineola Tangelo and Clementine. Lee is a hybrid of Orlando Tangelo and Clementine. On the University of Florida of website, they say that Page should have a pollinizer such as Lee nearby, and Lee should have a pollinizer such as Page nearby. So that seems like a match made in heaven- Page and Lee together. Read the UF's recommendations here: https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ch067 and here: https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ch080 But I'm still looking for others. As of now I am thinking I should get Page, Lee, Kishu (if I can find one), Gold Nugget (if I can find one), and Ponkan. Maybe Owari Satsuma as well. And yes, I do like Mineola Tangelos of course. Are they known as Honeybelles? I've had some good honeybelles before. And actually, I would say I like all citrus. But I want the best of the best, most concentrated flavor varieties. If Mineola Tangelo is more powerfully flavored than Mandarins and Tangerines, then I will get one. But Mineola Tangelos are not too hard to find in stores here in Florida either, so I might pass on that....See Moreroselee z8b S.W. Texas
