Kishu Mandarin Tree

The most delicious Mandarin you'll ever taste! Adorable and irresistible, the Kishu Seedless Mandarin (Citrus kinokuni mukakukishu) is one of the most delicious of all the Mandarins. The fruit is smaller than a golf ball but super easy to peel, tender and juicy on the tongue, and fragrant and sweet to the nose.

All of these qualities make for a fantastic homegrown fruit, but a difficult one to grow commercially. Until recently it was a challenge to find - even at farmer's markets - but the fruits are becoming more readily available, thanks to small groves of Citrus tree growers.

From the glossy bright green foliage that remains year-round, to the drifts of fragrant white blossoms, you’ll always have something to enjoy on your Kishu! However, it will turn the most heads once it's dripping in darling bright orange orbs just begging to be savored!

Planting and Application:

Thankfully you don't have to wait until this delicious fruit comes to your local market - you can grow your own today! If you live in a Citrus-friendly area, or even if you have a large pot and a sunny window, you can grow this delightful fruit for yourself.

Indoors or out, porch, patio or balcony, anyone in cooler climates can also enjoy these smaller, more compact ornamental trees! In warm climates, the Kishu Mandarin Tree thrives as a front or back yard specimen tree and small edible ornamental!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Citrus trees do their best fruiting and flowering in the full sun, so provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day for your tree or risk your harvest's size. Citrus also prefer to dry out a bit between waterings, so plant in enriched, slightly acidic, organic soil that's well-drained.

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.
