Notes

'Page' mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata 'Page') is a fruit 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. The fruit is larger than most mandarins and has an easy-to-peel, deep orange rind with a juicy, sweet flavor. White flowers open in spring and summer and attract bees. The tree sets fruit on its own, but a nearby mandarin or orange will boost the crop.

Pairs well with Hass avocado, Tuscan Blue rosemary, and African daisy.
