Algerian Mandarin (Clementine)

The Algerian Mandarin (Clementine) features a smooth, glossy, deep-orange rind that "zips" off with ease to reveal juicy, tender segments. Inside, the flesh is virtually seedless and famously sweet, offering a perfect balance of sugary richness and refreshing acidity with a delicate floral aroma. This Mediterranean classic was discovered in the late 19th century by Father Clément Rodier in the garden of an orphanage in Algeria.

Bring the sweet taste of homegrown citrus to your backyard with the Algerian Mandarin Tree.
The Algerian Mandarin (Citrus reticulata 'Algerian'), widely loved as the classic Clementine, is a stunning evergreen citrus tree that produces abundant crops of sweet, juicy, and easy-to-peel fruits. Perfectly adapted to the sunny Mediterranean climate of Southern California, this variety is highly prized by Los Angeles homeowners for both its heavy fruit production and its beautiful ornamental appearance.
Product Highlights

  • Deliciously Sweet & Juicy: Features rich, high-sugar fruit with a well-balanced, low-acid flavor profile that makes it a favorite for kids and families.
  • Easy to Peel: The bright, reddish-orange rind separates effortlessly from the flesh, making it the ultimate healthy, on-the-go snack.
  • Prolific Producer: Yields massive winter harvests, typically ripening between November and January—perfect for fresh winter citrus when other trees go dormant.
  • Fragrant & Ornamental: Dense, dark green foliage is punctuated by intensely fragrant white blossoms in spring, filling your garden with a sweet, refreshing aroma.
Specifications & Availability

  • Stock Sizes: Available in premium 15-Gallon and 25-Gallon rootstocks, carefully cultivated for strong trunk structure and immediate landscape impact.
  • USDA Hardiness: Zones 8–11 (Excellent cold-tolerance for Southern California winters).
  • Mature Size: Reaches an average height of 10–15 feet in the ground, but can easily be pruned to maintain a smaller footprint or grown in large patio containers.
  • Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun (6–8 hours of direct daily sunlight required for maximum fruit yield).
Planting & Care Guide

  • Soil & Drainage: Plant in loose, well-draining soil. Citrus trees hate "wet feet." If your soil contains heavy clay, elevate the planting location or build a wide mound to assist with drainage.
  • Watering: Water deeply and thoroughly once or twice a week for the first year to establish a robust root system. Once established, the Algerian Mandarin is moderately drought-tolerant, but requires regular moisture during peak fruiting seasons.
  • Fertilization: Feed your tree three times a year (late winter, late spring, and late summer) using a high-quality organic citrus fertilizer to support lush canopy growth and high fruit sugar content.
