Page Mandarin Trees for Sale
Citrus made easy for growers, nurseries, and distributors
The Page mandarin orange is a remarkable citrus variety prized for its rich flavor, early ripening season, and high juice content. Technically a hybrid, the Page mandarin combines qualities of the Clementine mandarin and Minneola tangelo, giving it both the sweetness of mandarins and the tangy complexity of tangelos. Many consider this fruit to be one of the best tasting citrus varieties available. For growers and home gardeners alike, the Page mandarin tree offers dependable crops of fruit that are excellent for fresh eating, juicing, or culinary use.
The fruit of the Page mandarin orange is small to medium-sized, with a deep orange rind that is smooth and fairly easy to peel. Inside, the flesh is bright, juicy, and aromatic, with a balance of sweetness and acidity that makes it stand out among other mandarins. The flavor is often described as richer and more complex than many seedless varieties. While Page mandarins can contain a few seeds, their taste and juicing quality have made them a favorite for decades. Because they mature in early winter, they are among the first mandarins to be harvested, giving growers an early entry into the citrus market.

Page Mandarin Orange Tree FAQs
What time of year are Page mandarin oranges harvested in a commercial orchard setting?
In California, Page mandarins are typically harvested from mid-December through March. This timing places them among the early-season mandarins, following varieties like Clementines, and offers growers an opportunity to capture the market early in the citrus season. The commercial market ceases when the Tango Mandarins hit the markets in high volumes in late February.
What watering schedules or irrigation systems do you recommend for large-scale Page mandarin citrus cultivation?
For large-scale Page mandarin orchards, drip irrigation or micro-sprinklers are ideal, delivering water efficiently to the root zone while minimizing disease risks. Young trees need frequent, shallow watering—every 2–3 days initially—tapering to 1–2 times per week as roots establish. Mature trees benefit from deep, less frequent irrigation, typically once or twice per week, adjusted seasonally.
Consistent soil moisture during spring and summer supports fruit size and sweetness, while reduced watering in fall helps trees prepare for cooler weather. Monitoring soil moisture with sensors or tensiometers, ensuring good drainage, and using mulch or fertigation enhances tree health, yield, and fruit quality.
Can you describe your shipping process? What measures do you take to ensure the Page mandarin trees arrive safely at their destination?

Each pallet accommodates up to 100 Large Pot trees, which are carefully packed using repurposed tri-wall containers and used pallets.

Do Page mandarin trees need cross-pollination, or are they self-pollinating?
Page mandarin trees are self-pollinating, meaning a single tree can produce fruit without the need for pollen from another tree. They do not require a separate pollinator variety in the orchard to set a full crop. However, like most citrus, pollination by bees or other insects can improve fruit set and yield, so having pollinators nearby can be beneficial, especially in commercial plantings.
