I did little research and found out its also called Dekopon, which some people say is best citrus there is. This is my first citrus tree and i cant believe how good it looks. Tree is close to 5 feet tall.

Very lovely, and yes, this is the Dekopon mandarin that everyone is clamoring for. You must be in Florida?

The fruit we purchased last year were very good. The ones that came into Houston this year were very poor at $4.99 a lb. I won't be buying anymore. Would love to have a backyard tree though.

I just saw a comment that if picked too early the fruit will not taste right so the writer above may have gotten a bag that the grower got a little too eager to harvest? I just heard about this fruit and am interested to know how the rind tastes. If anyone has tried it, let me know, please!

I have one as well but your tree is much larger than mine. So far it has been a reluctant grower.
