The mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata), also known as the mandarin or mandarine, is a small citrus tree with fruit resembling other oranges, usually eaten plain or in fruit salads. The tangerine is a group of orange-coloured citrus fruit consisting
of hybrids of mandarin orange.
Mandarins are smaller and oblate, unlike the spherical common oranges (which are a mandarin-pomelo hybrid). The taste is considered less sour, as well as sweeter and stronger. A ripe mandarin is firm to
slightly soft, heavy for its size, and pebbly-skinned. The peel is thin, with little white mesocarp, so they are usually easier to peel and to split into segments. Hybrids generally have these traits to a lesser degree. The mandarin is tender
and is damaged easily by cold. It can be grown in tropical and subtropical areas
