@latebloomer it should produce clementines, like tangerines but smaller and more spicy taste!

Do they get big enough to eat?

@kathy yes, if the flowers pollinate and don't fall off!! The tree is a no go area for my dogs/cats!! ❌🐩🐈

Clementines have to be one of the best flavoured citrus fruit there is

@nej me too, especially when really sweet with a little acidic tang! Do have a thing for mangosteen as well....😃

Mangosteen IS my favourite tasting fruit but they're hard to come by

@nej must have similar tastes!! I'm desperately trying to grow mangosteen from seed, I'll let you know how it goes! Have you seen my lemon drop mangosteen plants? They're a smaller plant cousin and apparently taste even better. They shrub fruits in 2 years so shouldn't be too long before I can eat some!! 😃😃

@drnicko Do you grow much food? Dragon fruit? I picked up a Dragon egg @ the market last weekend. Smaller with dark red flesh. Very sweet. It was devine. 😀

@janie I grow yellow and red skin dragon fruits, not found the purple one yet. I am growing lots of tropical fruits, attemoya, cherimoya, mango, lychee, guava, sugarcane, starfruit, pitangatuba. Waiting for delivery of more fruit trees when I hopefully move! 😃
