Khasi Mandarin

Mandarin is a citrus fruit of the species Citrus reticulate. lt is distinguished from other citrus species by the relatively loose skin of the fruits, the relative ease with which the segments can be separated, and (in most cultivars) the green cotyledons. The tree is usually more upright but has drooping branches and brittle wood, which can break under heavy fruit loads. While most mandarins self-pollinate, some hybrids need cross-pollination and the trees often alternate between heavy and light fruit yields annually.
