Fruit Characteristics

• Flavor Profile: It offers a mild, sweet-tart taste with a complex, distinctive floral aroma inherited from its mandarin parentage.
• Appearance: The fruit is rounder than a standard lemon, developing a deep golden-yellow skin with a distinct orange tint when fully ripe.
• Skin & Texture: It features a very thin, soft, and smooth rind. While this makes the fruit incredibly easy to squeeze, it also reduces its shelf life compared to thick-skinned supermarket varieties.
