You know…the funny-looking fruit with the big bump on one end. If you’ve ever tasted one, you’ll know what all the fuss is about.

With an extravagant, rich sweetness, Shiranui is touted as the “foodies favorite” citrus fruit. The sweet flavor actually gets stronger with a short stint in storage.

Shiranui Mandarine are heavyweight-sized fruits that are big enough to share. One piece of fruit could be considered lunch.

Each juicy fruit is easy-peeling and rarely produces seeds. A pronounced “topknot” bump at the top of the fruit makes it memorable, as well.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Give Shiranui Mandarin full sun. It needs at minimum six hours of direct sunlight a day; the more the better.

Well-drained soil is also important. If you have soggy soil, raise your planting bed by mounding up extra soil 18 inches high by three feet wide. Plant in that mound to improve drainage.

Next, spread a three-inch layer over the root system. Be sure to pull it six inches away from the trunk for good air circulation.

You’ll enjoy the best crop with a medium amount of water given on a regular schedule during fruit development.

Even watering is especially important for container-grown plants. Keep container grown plants on the dry side in winter.

Prune in late winter to open the interior of the canopy for sunlight and good air circulation. Thin these large fruits to one piece per six inches to allow for full-size mature fruit.

After harvest, consider storing the whole fruit first in the crisper drawer of your fridge to allow the natural fruit sugars to fully develop. We know it’s hard…but your patience will be worth the wait!
