Category: Plants

The first mandarin to ripen, 'Imperial' is a proven variety, popular for its thin, easy peel skin. An Australian heirloom, 'Imperial' was raised during the 1890s at Emu Plains, NSW, and tends to produce higher yields in alternate years. Harvest the sweet fruit from April in most areas. With its thin golden skin, sweet tangy flesh and few seeds, 'Imperial' mandarins are the perfect portable snack! Grafted on Carrizo Citrange rootstock.

Samuel ★★★★★

Planted this little tree a month ago and it's already putting out new growth, the thin peel makes snacking on the fruit effortless.

Brian P. ★★★★★

The skin really is as thin as described—I could peel it in one long strip without any struggle. Juicy and sweet, with that classic mandarin tang; perfect for a quick snack.

Nicholas F. ★★★★★

Mine came off the tree in early winter, and the peel practically slipped off in one piece—exactly what I hoped for with an heirloom like this. The fruit was sweet and juicy, and it ripened before my other citrus varieties, which made the wait totally worth it.
