The Kishu Mandarin Orange Tree – Citrus reticulata ‘Kishu’ is a charming little citrus tree known for its small, sweet, easy-peeling fruit. Kishu mandarins are sometimes called “baby mandarins” because the fruit is naturally small, snack-size, and easy to enjoy fresh from the tree. Kishu is a great choice for customers who want a fun citrus tree for fresh eating, lunchboxes, patio growing, containers, edible landscapes, and backyard fruit gardens. The fruit is usually bright orange when ripe, sweet, juicy, and easy to peel, making it especially nice for families and anyone who enjoys small, sweet citrus. This tree also adds beauty to the landscape with glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant white blooms, and colorful fruit. The blooms attract bees and other pollinators, and the compact size makes Kishu a good option for smaller yards, patios, and large containers. In North Florida and the Florida Panhandle, Kishu Mandarin Orange trees should be planted in full sun and well-drained soil. Like most citrus, young trees may need protection during hard freezes, especially in colder parts of our area. It can also be grown in a large container so it can be moved or protected during cold weather.
