Mike says... Brendan, I have not seen them either but know some people call the temple tangor the king mandarin and they come from the carribean.I think C.nobilis could be an old synonym.Some taxonomists say all citrus are one species with our edible ones all arising from crosses of the original four types (subspecies?).Anyway could it be the same as the temple tangor? | About the Author Cairns 29th June 2011 6:18pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... King(of Siam)used to be grown in Australia years ago, also several more modern mandarins are King hybrids. Kara mandarin still looks a lot like it's parent, King and it may be easier to find than King. King is not the same as Temple, although they are both tangors(mandarinXorange. King is a strong flavored mandarin,maybe too intense for the average person? | About the Author oz 29th June 2011 8:29pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... Hi, the gold nugget mandarin available at Coles etc recently is a King mandarin hybrid, King, being King of Siam, one of the original thai mandarins. The Gold Nugget tangerine, botanically classified as Citrus reticulata is well known as a late season variety, and is named for its appearance. The Gold Nugget is a mandarin hybrid, a cross between two non-commercial breeding varieties, the wilking and kincy mandarins. That's the wilking mandarin ie willow leaf X king and kincy mandarin ie king X dancy, 3 original mandarin types crossed together. Quite a few modern mandarins have King of Siam Mandarin ancestry. Also Lux Interior of the Cramps said The King of Siam sent a telegram sayin' Wop bop a loop a lop a lop boom bam! but thats another story. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 5th October 2019 11:52pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
