The medium-size mandarin tree flourishes in tropical and subtropical areas, although it is the most cold-hardy of the many citrus varieties. Tangerine Mandarins: Also called "common tangerine mandarins," this group is the most important commercially and comprises a wide range of hybrids and fruits known as only "tangerines." This is the group of which both clementines and Murcotts are members. Satsuma Mandarins: Originally from Japan, Satsuma mandarins are commonly found canned or used in commercially available fruit cups.These are the largest of the mandarins, and they require a high degree of heat, so they are seldom grown commercially. King Mandarins: These are usually available commercially as varieties Kinnow and Encore.
Mediterranean Mandarins: Called the willowleaf mandarin because its leaves are small and narrow, similar to willow leaves, this variety is not widely grown commercially in the U.S.-but is generally available in the citrus-producing countries of the Mediterranean.There are generally four broad categories of mandarins: A mandarin is not a type of orange, nor is it necessarily a tangerine-although tangerines are indeed mandarins.
