Aren't they the most beautiful colour?
Nossa mexeriqueira produziu suas frutas neste mês de julho. A mexerica (Citrus reticulata), também conhecida como tangerina, laranja-mimosa, mandarina ou bergamota, é uma fruta cítrica de cor alaranjada e sabor adocicado, originária do sudeste da Ásia e das Filipinas. "Mexerica" é um termo mais comum nas regiões Centro-Oeste e Sudeste do Brasil, onde faz-se distinção da mexerica, Citrus reticulata, em relação à tangerina, Citrus tangerine, como ocorre na língua inglesa, onde a mexerica é uma mandarin orange e a tangerina é uma tangerine. Os quatro maiores produtores em 2011 foram a China, Espanha, Brasil e Japão.
Elas não têm uma cor linda?
Photos taken by myself in my orchard.
oh how lovely.
ReplyDeletei'm from the philippines and we call them "dalanghita", most likely coming from naranjita.
have a lovely weekend.
Morning Sonia! Here, we just call them a mandarin. My tree has been loaded too, is just finishing now. They were HUGE, and this coming year I will give the tree some TLC so that next year they are a little juicier and a lot sweeter!
ReplyDeleteYour orchard is lovely!

I'm so jealous - I've never lived anywhere that citrus fruit could grow!
ReplyDeleteWe call them mandarin oranges in the U.S. They won't grow where I live, but we can get them at supermarkets. Not nearly as good as picking them fresh off your own trees!
ReplyDeleteI like your series of photos, how they build from distant to close-up.
Great pictures Sonia....I, like you, love to go from far away to close in....I think it is the best way to see Flowers and Fruit and really just about anything...! How WONDERFUL that you have Mandarin Oranges right there on your property! And I bet they are scrumptious!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like these oranges are about to jump on my face! Your photo is totally alive, Sonia.
ReplyDeleteWe eat mandarins by the bucket load!
ReplyDeleteWe had a little tree in Ararat and hope to grow one here too in QLD.
It looks like an excellent crop!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and fun to discover the details concerning this fruit.
As a child it was always the greatest treat to get a mandarin orange. You brought back memories for me. Here they would never grow, though I have kept a lemon alive in the house. I get to enjoy the lake in many of my photos so that will have to satisfy my "taste" today. Thanks for the posting. Jack
ReplyDeleteThe color of the mandarins -- beautiful!
ReplyDeleteUma linda árvore frutífera Sonia com frutos além de saborosos muito bonitos.Uma cor e uma textura maravilhosa.
ReplyDeleteParabéns pelo plantio conservação e a oportunidade de poder desfrutar de colher a mexerica fresquinha do pé,
um grande abraço e desejo de bons dias
Sonia, it's so nice that you have a mandarin orange tree in your garden!
ReplyDeleteWonderful images, so joyful!
I loved seeing this bush! I had no idea they grew like this. Beautiful.
ReplyDeletethat last photo has me wanting to put on 3-D glasses.
ReplyDeleteI once went to a dinner party where the host served us slices of baloney, ritz crackers and mandarin oranges in green jello. Gads he was a fool.
I would love to have my own mandarin orange tree. Also, I would love to have my own mango tree! Oh! And an avocado tree -- I want my own avocado tree! :-D
