Notes
'Fremont' mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata 'Fremont') is a fruit tree grown for fresh eating in the food garden. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun. The deep orange fruits are tender and juicy, with a bright flavor that mixes sweet, acidic, and tart. It ripens early and has seeds.
Pairs well with Hass avocado, Hachiya persimmon, Mexican heather, and Lemon grass.
