Citrus reticulata 'Ellendale' (Mandarin)

The Ellendale mandarin, generally considered to be a tangor, is the major citrus cultivar grown in the central Burnett district of Queensland. Ellendales at maturity have a higher percentage of fruit fall when compared with most other commercial cultivars. Late hanging of fruit in an attempt to take advantage of higher priced markets leads to serious fruit loss. A medium to large fruit with medium rind. Relatively easy to peel when mature. Bright orange, very juicy flesh with a rich flavour. Moderately seedy. Late mid season. H 2-3m x W 1-2m
