Page Mandarin Tree

The Page Mandarin Tree (Citrus reticulata 'Page') is a delicious cross between a Minneola Tangelo and Clementine Mandarin. This fruit, which resembles a small, sweet orange, is prized for its early ripening and high-quality flavor.

Page’s round fruit ripens to a deep orange with a thin rind that’s easy to peel. The tree's evergreen leaves are shiny, dark green and leathery and really set off the fruit and the gleaming white blossoms! With that classic Citrus flower fragrance, you and your pollinators will adore these blooms!

Well-known for its long hang time and reported to remain on the tree for as long as four months, many believe the Page to be the finest of all Mandarins. The fact that it ripens early and is small to medium in size also contributes to its popularity!

Planting and Application:

A lovely enough ornamental specimen and accent tree, Page is a good choice to include in your Citrus grove as it will be the most productive in the company of pollinator trees. Good choices to plant alongside it are other Mandarins or Valencia. Use together in groupings or hedgerows that provide shelter, food, fragrance and privacy for you, your pollinators and your backyard birds!

The Page Mandarin makes an excellent container plant since it can be easily pruned to any desired size. If you live in a colder climate and plant them in a container, bring your trees indoors to ride out the winter near a sunny window, where the invigorating citrus scent can brighten your home during the colder months. The evergreen foliage adds a year-round touch for privacy, pin-point shade, and lasting fragrant beauty!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Citrus indoors and out requires at least 6 hours of direct full sunlight a day to do their best. Provide excellent drainage and regular fertilizer but go easy on the watering. Once established they don’t need much moisture and prefer to dry out a bit between waterings.

Protecting Container Citrus From Cold

Although it's famous for growing in warmer regions, it can also thrive in colder areas as long as the tree is brought indoors prior to the first frost of winter.

If you're growing these tropical trees in the ground in the lowest of their favored growing zones, they need to be planted in a sheltered spot to avoid the worst of the chill. If a spot like that is unavailable, then you are better off planting in a large, deep container.

In borderline growing zones, begin slowly acclimating your tree indoors or into a protected location, eventually moving your tree inside in bright indirect sun for the winter if the temperatures in your area ever dip below that 40°F range. In spring, reverse this process and begin acclimating your tree to again be back out in the full sun all summer. This reduces stress and leaf drop.
