Citrus Mandarino

This mandarin is small and green. Its leaves are waxy, dark green, and egg-shaped, with shiny, crinkled surfaces and citrus aroma. The leaves are 3.5-8 cm long and 1.5-4 cm wide. Smaller branches have thinner twigs. White flowers are pleasant-scented, star-shaped. Fruit develops at the branch tips and ripens slowly. It is smaller and easier to peel than an orange, with oil-rich flesh in narrow seams. Main flowering period is spring. Some varieties flower continuously.
