Looking for an easy peeling, sweet-tasting, snackable fruit for your garden?

The sweet and juicy Golden Nugget Mandarins (Citrus reticulata 'Blanco') are all that and more! These may be small, but they pack a HUGE taste!

Golden Nugget Mandarins have been voted one of the best-flavored varieties of Citrus IN THE WORLD by professional taste panels! Described as rich, juicy, and sweet!

Golden Nugget gets its name from the sparkling deep-orange color of the segments inside, as well as the bumpy nugget-like texture of the rind. The rind easily peels from the fruit, making this a perfect snack fruit and very kid-friendly.

Tuck some in your lunchboxes and everyone is happy! These fruits are typically seedless, which only adds to their easy-to-eating quality!

As blooming trees go, these are gorgeous landscape trees but also excel in containers in a sunny window if you're in a place where winters are cold.

The fragrantly sweet white blooms perfume the air and call pollinators and butterflies from far and wide!

How to Use Gold Nugget Mandarin In The Landscape

The fruits typically ripen between March and May and deliver a large crop per tree.

Golden Nugget Mandarins provide 15% of your daily vitamins A and C, and since you've grown them yourself, you can be confident that you are feeding your family the healthiest fruit available!

Fantastic landscaping trees, the rounded shape, glossy leaves plus their modest size enable these ornamental trees to be planted anywhere in your garden and accent all sized lots!

Creating a low privacy screen or fantastic specimen planting in your front or back gardens, around patios or porches! Keeping them close by so you can enjoy the fragrance from the flowers and see the gorgeous jewels growing on the branches!

Perfect for containers both indoors and out, Gold Nugget tolerates any sunny site. For colder zones, these are wonderful accents around your porch or terrace for the summer and can be brought back inside for the winter.

Indoors, any sunny window providing full sun is perfect for Gold Nugget to flourish. Or provide some supplemental lighting to extend the light.

Nothing is like picking a ripe, juicy fruit straight from a tree you grew yourself! The sweet flavor is incomparable to anything bought in the store!

#ProPlantTips For Care

Citrus trees usually require full sun, for the most flowers and therefore the best fruit on your tree. Gold Nugget is one of the few Citrus that can tolerate some partial shade but still requires about 6-7 hours or more per day for the best harvest.

It is vital you provide very well-drained soil for Citrus. Standing water and soggy conditions quickly lead to root rot. Provide a loose mixture of sandy, light soil.

Containers need ample drainage holes for these trees to do their best. Plants in containers will not need much water during their dormant winter indoors.

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.

For lush plants with the healthiest foliage and larger crops, use a light hand with fertilizers and maintain an acidic pH. For plants that aren't currently fruiting, consider applying organic Citrus fertilizer monthly in spring and again in summer during the growing season. Feed planted Mandarin container plants right before you take them outside for the summer.

Nature Hills ships vigorous, strong young trees with great branching and hardy roots to ensure you're off to a great start. Order yours today and see what everyone has been raving about!
