Citrus — Honey Murcott Mandarin
Honey Murcott is a deliciously sweet and juicy mandarin with a rich, honey-like flavour and bright orange skin. The fruit is easy to peel and makes an excellent fresh-eating mandarin, while also being delicious in desserts and salads. The tree is vigorous, evergreen and productive, with a spreading habit that can be maintained at a manageable size with pruning. Honey Murcott is self-fertile and can also be grown in a large pot.
