Citrus Shasta Gold™ Mandarin PP (Citrus reticulata hybrid)

Shasta Gold™ Mandarin is a new hybrid that combines many desirable features including large fruit size, rich, sweet flavor, virtual absence of seeds and a thin, deep orange rind that’s easy to peel. It starts bearing fruit in February and the fruit holds onto the tree into April or May. The sweet, juicy, 3” fruit is deep orange with a fine, delicious texture. Shasta Gold is a high yielding variety that’s ideal for a large container or home garden in southern zones. This is a grafted plant that blooms and fruits sooner.
