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 as a potted five gallon tree in its original soil and container. Tree about 4 feet tall when shipped.
