Description

Citrus reticulata 'Pixie'

The Pixie Mandarin, is now considered one of the finest of the modern Mandarins. It was for decades considered only good for the backyard grower. This resulted in the Pixie getting little attention. Pixies are a small, easy to peel mandarin with a sweet, almost entirely seedless orange flesh. The incredibly long hang time is a great feature of this extraordinary variety. Begin harvest in Mid February and continue through June or into July, if they last that long. A rich mandarin flavor, very sweet and very juicy are all what's too be expected. A slower growing tree that is easy to manage in tight spaces because of its upright growth habit. Great in containers where it will dependably fruit year after year in climates favorable to citrus. In this new era of the mandarin and the Pixie stands out as one to the leaders.

Mandarins must have well-draining soil and will not tolerate standing in water. If poor drainage is suspected plant in a mound 24 inches high and 4 feet wide of a raised bed 12 to 18 inches high and 3 feet wide. Mulching helps retain moisture and helps to stabilize the soil temperature as well as preventing the mound from settling before the roots get established . Requires full sun with at least 8 hours of direct sunlight favoring the morning sun. Trees tend to be small and bushy, and can easily be kept 7' - 10' with regular pruning. Makes an excellent container plant. The white flowers are very fragrant.
