Notes
'Kishu' 1 gallon (Citrus kinokuni 'Kishu') is a tree for 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. Known as the baby or mini mandarin, it has a dense branching habit. It is grown for golf ball-sized, easy-to-peel, seedless mandarins with a sweet-tart flavor.
Pairs well with Olive, Hachiya persimmon, and Artichoke.
