Mandarin orange

Mandarin orange, also known as the mandarin or mandarine (both lower-case), is a

small citrus tree(Citrus reticulata) with fruit resembling other oranges. Mandarin oranges are

usually eaten plain or in fruit salads.

Specifically reddish-orange mandarin cultivars can be marketed as tangerines, but this is

not a botanical classification. When exporting began, local Mandarin oranges were named

after their port of origin.^[1]

The tree is more drought-tolerant than the fruit. The mandarin is tender, and is damaged

easily by cold. It can be grown in tropical and subtropical areas.

According to molecular studies,^[2] the mandarin, the citron, the pomelo, and the papeda were

the ancestors of all other citrus species and their varieties, through breeding or natural

hybridization; mandarins are therefore all the more important as the only sweet fruit among

the parental species.

During Chinese New Year, Mandarin oranges and tangerines are considered traditional

symbols of abundance and good fortune. During the two-week celebration, they are frequently

displayed as decoration and presented as gifts to friends, relatives, and business associates.
