Semi Dwarf Pixie Mandarin Orange Tree One Gallon
The Pixie Mandarin is a vigorous grower with an upright growth habit. The rind is yellow-orange with a slightly pebbled texture that is easy to peel. The flesh is seedless, orange colored, and juicy. The flavor is mild and sweet. Pixie matures in late winter and holds exceptionally late on the tree; in certain mild locations, the fruit is known to hold well into summer. Fruit good to eat fresh or in fruit salads. Mandarin trees make excellent container plants on sunny patio, porch or deck. Use even as an indoor specimen, with glossy green foliage adding to indoor decor. Orange ripening fruit against green leaves offers good color contrast. Shipped potted in soil to ensure the best possible start when planted in yard or garden. Can not ship citrus trees to AZ, FL, or TX.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really ship citrus trees this time of the year?
Since we ship all of our trees potted in soil, yes we are able to offer shipment year round. We monitor weather.com, and hold shipment temporarily if weather is too extreme. We add insulation to the trees as weather dictates, packaging each carefully by hand to ensure the best possible tree when it arrives at your home.
We insulate the trees prior to shipping if necessary, and then carefully box them, adding additional protective measures to absorb excessive vibration or movement while in transit. The root balls are then bagged to hold in moisture while the trees are on their way, with an additional card board collar placed over the tree to provide additional protection from the elements. Some leaf drop may occur, but the tree, once moved to a proper and safe location should re-foliate very quickly.
