Notes
'Tahoe Gold' mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata 'Tahoe Gold') 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. The fruit is juicy, seedless, and easy to peel, with a sweet-tart flavor. White flowers open in spring and again in summer.
Pairs well with Hass avocado, Moringa, and Angel's trumpet.
