MANDARIN ‘ENCORE’
Ripe: November to March
Late fruiting mandarin during summer. 5cm round, very sweet fruit which peel reasonably well if watered over summer. To 2.5m tall. Warm sheltered sunny site best. Can have a few seeds. (GOOD FOR: FLOWERS, FOLIAGE, FRUIT, SPECIMEN, SUN)
Our experience using these in the Auckland region:
One of the best tasting Mandarins, but, you do need to water the tree in the early summer if it is dry to ensure the fruit plump up and are nice and juicy. If you do this they will be OK to peel, If you don't the skin will stick to the flesh.
