Olga starts with ... Hello. Could somebody please tell me what is Phoenix mandarin? I'd bought some fruits at Woolworth a month ago, fruits are medium with thick glossy peel, seedless, flesh has an orange-like consistency but tastes as real mandarins. I didn't find any descriptions of Phoenix variety in the internet yet. | About the Author Olga Brisbane 28th July 2011 1:42pm #UserID: 5173 Posts: 20 View All Olga's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... I agree amanda re the growing conditions. My own mandarins have fantastic flavour compared to shop bought ones (same variety). Not sure if I said this elsewhere, but the Imperial in the ground is far superior in flavour to the one grown in a bag - even though I feed the bag more often. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 28th July 2012 9:03pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... I have had two different lots of D'Anjou pears from the shops and the difference between them was quite a lot... The first lot were small and stunning - the second lot large, harder and half as sweet... If I had got the second lot first - I may have thought that is was a good pear rather than a stunning pear - as the small, sweet and melthingly juicy first lot were.. Different growers, areas etc obviously play a part here... | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth. 30th July 2012 11:14am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

BenW says... Many Citrus are polyembrionic, that is there are 7 or 8 embryos in each seed. One will be produced by sexual reproduction and will be different to the parent, while the others are all clones and will be identical to the parent, exactly the same as if you had taken a cutting (though it will take a year or two extra to fruit). If you have a few seeds, dissect one carefully and you will be able to tell for sure. A polyembryionic seed is kind of wrinkly, rather than smooth, and the embryos pull apart (although you will probably damage them. There are photos on the net if that wasn't clear. Good luck :) | About the Author BenW Kinglake West,3757,VIC 3rd July 2014 7:38pm #UserID: 5390 Posts: 144 View All BenW's Edible Fruit Trees |

Glenstorm says... I am eating a Phoenix Mandarin right now. It is very pleasant, but I differ in my response. I think it is less tasting of Mandarin than I would prefer, but it's a pretty good balance. Most of the new mandarin varieties these days are derived from breeding with oranges I understand. Pretty much any citrus can be crossed with another it seems, they have been hybridised with each other for centuries. I love the old almost red skinned very intense mandarins that nearly everyone had in their backyard 50 years ago. Noone grows them commercially anymore. Sniff. | About the Author Glenstorm Uraidla 18th June 2016 1:48pm #UserID: 14099 Posts: 1 View All Glenstorm's Edible Fruit Trees |

425 says... I found that this mandarin has a good texture, looks and feel more like a small orange... with a little grapefruit flavor in the background... for me the flavor of a real mandarine will stay the same as the french fruit actually named clementine,a thin skin fruit seedless, little segment with a strong flavor unique to this family. The mandarines were more looking and tasting like the Imperial kind: seeds, thicker peel, small segments ....
