Citrus reticulata syn. Citrus tangerina

The front #Tangerine #tree is full this year! #Citrus #citrus-reticulata I think she is 24 years old. #delicious #gyo #fruit #southerncalifornia 23 January 2020

Wow!💘😍

Mouthwatering! 🍊🍊🍊

Yes! @ShelleySnyder @KariSamuel

Is there a difference between mandarins and tangerines 🍊? The two are sold as different fruits here. Tangerines are dearer🤷🏼‍♀️

Wow 🍊🍊

Bright it colour can imagine the sweet taste.

How delicious to be able to walk out your door and pick such a delicious fruit. Enjoy my friend

Fantastic 🍊

I'm so jealous. Looks delicious.

Looks great🧡🧡🧡

@Sussanah they are all in the same family of mandarins. Some are sweeter than others, easier to peel, seeded or not, some are a bit tart and some are juicer than other varieties. Mine are seeded, super sweet, easy to peel and juicy. ♥️

Hey #citrus growers! It is time to dust around your #tree with #diatomaceous earth to keep #ants from spreading disease. #tangerine #diatomaceousearth #southerncalifornia #california 15 March 2019

It's wonderful stuff, I wish I'd tried it years ago!

Thank you for the reminder. Although our seasons are opposite, those nuisance ants never rest.

It is @Soph1e. I too did not use it until rather recently. I moved into a huge ant area at our house 24 years ago and with I knew about it back then. 😎

🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 Here either @Annettenoosa. Ants never give up.

A #California state inspector came by and checked, tagged and took leaf samples of all my #citrus trees. Our county has been under quarantine from the Asain Citrus Psyllid, a #pest that infects the tree with #Haunglongbing or #citrusgreeningdisease. It does not effect the fruit for consumption, but ultimately kills the tree. He did not see any, but they do have #whitefly, #leafminer and #magnesium deficiency. Time for #diatomaceousearth, #ladybugs and a new #fertilizer. He was quite helpful.

Oh my that’s not good Janice but you’ll be glad of the advice and knowing that yours are alright!

Yikes, that sounds serious! Did you have to request an inspection or are they visiting everyone with citrus trees?

Yes, @mich, I sure am. @Soph1e, he was going through checking trees he could see and I asked if he could also check in the back. Strangely, some people get upset with him and are not compliant. This is really stupid as , just economically, this has the potential to bust our county/state as commercial lemons bring in $269 million a year.

@lovestogarden that's crazy, I really don't understand people sometimes!

Me either, @Soph1e , but I am beginning to think is a good thing. 👽😂

Sorry, @mich, I realized I didn't answer your question. He is a government worker. They do it to save the whole citrus industry. This is definitely a one-for-all-and-all-for-one problem.

I picked all of the #fruit off the #tangerine tree and hated to waste the #peel as it was so pretty and, oh, the scent!! 💓 So I candied some. Pretty tasty and beautiful. 😋 #candy #edible #scented #wastenotwantnot #citrus #southerncalifornia #california 15 February 2019

Looks delicious 😋

Yum

Good idea

Made my mouth water🤤

Bet that aroma was awesome too!

They are! @carolgs @mardel 😋💞

@lesliecole49, I thought so too until the sugar boiled over on my cook top. 😂😵

@cyndi I did make marmalade years ago. 💞

@nikkicasas it is worthy of it. 🤤 😂💓

Oh, yes! @mariskat it did! 💓

Oh, that stinks, literally! But I'll bet the were good.

The #tangerine #tree is all covered for protection against another night of #frost. It doesn't look too good, but an old sheet works just fine. #tangerinetree #advice #citrus #southerncalifornia #california 7 February 2019

🤞💘😍

Xxxx true Gardner. .

Hope you didn’t get frost again, but if you did I think cover definitely saved them.

#Tangerine #tree number one is REALLY covered in #fruit. 👏👏👏This tree is much older than the other. So delicious. #gyo #citrus #southerncalifornia #california 5 December 2018

If I didn't like to sweat I would move next to you !! Lol

@lovestogarden oh well done! Also this just reminded me of my #crowdfarming adoption - we should be getting part of a harvest of clementines soon 🤗

You would be a great addition to the neighborhood! @mardel 💞

@Mikekally, that is a fabulous idea and a wonderful trade. 💞

@lovestogarden Thank you 😘

First tangerine coloring. #tangerine #gyo #fruit #citrus #yum

These Tangerine seeds are growing nicely, it is just odd that some of them appear to have no Chlorophyll in them. 🤔

Huh. Have you googled that?

My Tangerine Seeds have finally sprouted! 🙆 Whoot, whoot! 🍊

Yummy yummy 😄🍊🍊🍊

Where did you get the seeds from I would love to grow some

Nicko, these seeds are from a Tangerine from my Tangerine Tree. You may have to eat some tangerines to find some seeds. 😉

In blossom with fruit still on the branches.

Laura the fruit is already forming as you can see on the top flower. It will not be ready to eat until at least late Fall. @columbiariver

Mmmmmm.... 🍊🍊🍊

Looking tastier as they grow! The weather threatened frost last night, but glad there wasn't any.

Hope your hungry😂. That tree is totally loaded😲

It IS really pretty. The branches are bending with the weight! My backyard Tangerine is only a few years old and it only has ten or so...Funny! 😂. @columbiariver @SikoMa

Again your wish is granted @jennilm . This is the Mother Dwarf Tangerine Tree. This one is about 7' tall now and is loaded with fruit right now!

Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyy! I can smell and taste them!!!! What a wonderful tree! #gyo #tangerine #harvest #edible #tasty #fruit #fruittree #yum

This tree is also great. This is a great year of fruit. Every other year is a great year. The fruit is delicious. @gjones @KariSamuel @columbiariver

I would love that! Yummy!

Wow it's fab Janice it's full! 😍👌

How fabulous 🤗

Tangerines are still green, but growing nicely.

Lookin good😍
