Family: Rutaceae
Origin: USA
The Page Mandarin (Citrus reticulata × Citrus sinensis) is a delightful hybrid citrus known for its incredibly sweet flavor, juicy flesh, and easy-to-peel skin. Developed in the United States, this variety is a cross between a Clementine Mandarin and a Minneola Tangelo, combining the best characteristics of both parents. The result is a small, seedless or low-seeded fruit that is perfect for fresh eating, juicing, and adding a burst of citrus flavor to your favorite recipes.

The flesh inside is juicy, sweet, and virtually seedless, with a rich, full-bodied flavor that is often compared to that of a tangerine with a hint of honey. The fruit is perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or adding to salads, desserts, and savory dishes. The intense sweetness and juiciness make Page Mandarins a delightful treat for citrus lovers of all ages.
Leaves: The tree has glossy, dark green leaves that are evergreen, providing year-round beauty in the garden. The foliage is aromatic, emitting a fresh citrus scent when crushed.
Growth Habit: Page Mandarin trees are compact and bushy, typically growing 8-10 feet tall, making them ideal for smaller gardens or container growing. They are known for their prolific fruit production, often yielding an abundant harvest in winter.
