It's not often that you get a fruit named after an exploding star, but when the flavor is as spectacular as the new Super Nova Mandarin (Citrus reticulate Blanco 'SuperNova') the name fits perfectly! The flavor of this little fruit explodes!
This blazing orange fruit is new on the market in the last couple of years, but it's been around for a while. It was first developed in 1966 in Florida, then expanded its reach in Southern California, and then really took off in Northern California. It is now poised to rival other well-known Mandarins, like Cuties and Halos! But you can have your own tree producing for you right now so that when your neighbors are paying big bucks for a bag from the local specialty market you will just be picking them fresh from your backyard!
Starting as drifts of fragrant blossoms, the juicy fruit forms over the late fall and winter among the glossy evergreen foliage. These self-pollinating gems bear fruit that is completely seedless and packed with super sweet juicy flavor!
Planting and Application:
Reaching a tidy 12 - 15 feet in height, and keeping a slim profile, Super Nova can easily be accommodated by about any sized yard! Use as a fantastic shade tree, year-round accent, and privacy screen that looks gorgeous anywhere. The evergreen foliage pulls double duty in the landscape as both ornamental and edible!
Keep pruned smaller yet for an easy-care houseplant in the winter that even northern gardeners can enjoy, simply bring it back out onto your porch or patio for the summers, while enjoying the fragrance and fruit indoors all winter! Container gardeners, patios and balconies, anywhere you have good sun, will suit these trees just fine!
- Deliciously Sweet Fruit
- Perfect for Small Gardens & Containers
- Self-Pollinating
- Rich Mandarin Flavor
- Seedless!
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Citrus trees thrive in the full sun and lower moisture soil. Be sure to let them dry out a touch between waterings and maintain a slightly acidic, enriched environment that are very well-drained. Any fertile site that doesn't get soggy and has good air circulation works just fine too!
Although Citrus can grow year-round in warmer regions (zones 9 and 10), they can also thrive in colder areas (zones 4 to 7) as long as the tree is brought indoors before the first frost of winter.
In zone 8, you can cover your tree in the event of a cold snap or unexpected overnight freeze. Citrus will need to be planted in a sheltered spot to avoid the worst of the chill, and not planted in a low area that collects cold air. If a spot like that is unavailable, or you are in a chill-prone climate, then you are safer planting Citrus Trees in a large, deep container with wheels to easily move them to a protected location or indoors when needed.
In cold growing zones, begin slowly acclimating your tree indoors in the fall, or into a protected location, eventually moving your tree inside. Indoor plants need a bright indirect sun window, greenhouse, sunroom, or enclosed patio for the winter. 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.
- Full Sun
- Well-Drained Soil
