Ponkan Mandarin Tree – Anmeldelser

The Ponkan Mandarin is one of the most widely cultivated mandarin citrus fruits. The trees only reach a size of 6 to 8 feet tall and 15 feet wide, making them ideal for growing in smaller gardens or in containers on a porch or patio. The Ponkan Mandarin is also cold hardy down to low temperatures of about 30 degrees, so they are more suitable for cooler locations than some other sensitive citrus varieties. The trees have dark green, shiny leaves and produce white blooms that are fragrant and self-fertile. The fruit is medium-sized, easy to peel, and contains a few seeds. The flesh is most often eaten out of hand, or can be used for juices, salads, and marinades. The flavor of the Ponkan Mandarin is a combination of sweet and tart. Mandarin juice can be added to other orange or fruit juices to give them an additional tangy flavor.
