what is the name of this citrus?
« on: October 09, 2015, 08:57:47 AM »
Hello! I went to visit my aunt in EL Salvador and she has this orange/mandarin tree in her front yard. The fruit is very juicy and heavy producer. She said that he tree only produced about 700 fruit this year, but last year it was about 2400!. She sells then for $6.00 per 100 fruit so she keeps track. :) No body knows what it is other than the fruit is juicy and some fruit seem more like mandarins than oranges, others more like Valencia oranges but they all taste the same. :) Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Tropicalnut,

I think this is mandarins,not orange.
In chinese south,we plant orange and mandarins,they are quite different.
Orange is bigger,and ripe time is later,need in November.
Attached is one photo you can see of Gannan Orange.
Best regards.
