Pixie Mandarin Tree

A Hybrid That’s Sweet and Mild

The Pixie Mandarin, also referred to as Pixie Tangerine is the result of a cross-pollination between King and Dancy.

If you enjoy the flavor of juicy oranges, but don’t care for the sweet-tart taste that can make you pucker, you’ll like the Pixie. They have a

mild, yet sugary-sweet flavor

that you won’t get with other mandarins.

Like most mandarins, Pixies are small, but these are

packed with many advantages

.

Easy to Peel and Seedless

Grow your own Pixies and share with your friends and neighbors. One unique quality is that they’re exceptionally

easy to peel

.

Toss a couple to the kiddos and they can peel their own with ease! Plus, there are

no seeds

which means less mess.

An Affordable Way to Stay Healthy and Look Younger

Pixie tangerines are

packed with Vitamin C

, which offers many health and beauty benefits.

Vitamin C is known to

boost the immune system

, and treat the common cold in addition to aiding in lowering hyper tension, treating cancer and combating stroke.

Your own Pixie tree can produce fruit that helps you maintain a healthy youthful appearance. The high level of Vitamin C in this fruit will stimulate cell growth from the inside out, and

improve elasticity of the skin

. A study published in the

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

found that Vitamin C intake

reduces the appearance of wrinkles

, and dryness of the skin.

You Can Grow this Tree No Matter Where You Live

You don’t have to reside in a tropical climate to

enjoy the beauty and delicious fruit

from the Pixie tree.

Pixie mandarins grow best outdoors in Zones 9 and 10, but they do well indoors, grown in containers in cooler zones. Because they’re a dwarf variety,

they don’t take up much space.

They have something to offer year-round. You’ll enjoy its

fragrant

dark green leathery leaves and

flowers

in the summer. The deep orange,

juicy fruit

is yours to relish in winter months.

Late Blooming

Your Pixies will bloom from March through June; maturing in late winter. The fruit stays on the tree until early spring in most zones, although in zones 9 and 10, can hang on until early summer.
