It can be grown in tropical and subtropical areas. The mandarin is tender and is damaged easily by cold. Hybrids usually have these traits to a lesser degree. The peel is thin, loose, with little white mesocarp, so they are usually easier to peel and to split into segments. A ripe mandarin is firm to slightly soft, heavy for its size, and pebbly-skinned. The taste is considered sweeter and stronger than the common orange. Mandarins are smaller and oblate, unlike the spherical common oranges (which are a mandarin– pomelo hybrid). Tangerines are a group of orange-coloured citrus fruit consisting of hybrids of mandarin orange with some pomelo contribution.
Treated as a distinct species of orange, it is usually eaten plain or in fruit salads.
The mandarin orange ( Citrus reticulata), also known as mandarin or mandarine, is a small citrus tree fruit.
