Murcott trees are moderate in size and vigor with a somewhat upright growth habit with willowy branches. The fruit tends to be borne near the outside of the tree. Alternate bearing often occurs in this variety, and if the fruit burden is excessive in the \"on\" year, the tree may die due to a carbohydrate depletion commonly referred to as \"Murcott collapse.\" The fruit is medium-sized when the tree is carrying a moderate fruit load. The orange rind is thin, smooth, and peels moderately well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eFruit medium in size, firm, oblate to subglobose; shallowly ribbed to conform with segments; both base and apex flattened or slightly depressed.  Rind thin, rather tightly adherent and not readily peelable; surface smooth to slightly pebbled; color yellowish-orange at maturity.  Segments 11 to 12, moderately adherent; axis medium-large and semi-hollow.  Flesh orange-colored; tender, very juicy; flavor very rich and sprightly.  Seeds small, few to numerous, and cotyledons white.  Medium-late in maturity.  Holds only moderately well on tree with some granulation but does not puff.  Ships exceptionally well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTree medium in vigor and size, upright-growing with long, willowy branches; leaves medium-small, lanceolate, and sharp-pointed.  Fruit mainly borne terminally and hence exposed to wind, frost, and sunburn injury.  Productive but with tendency to alternate bearing and one of the most sensitive mandarins to cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo avoid confusion with the hybrid Honey mandarin variety of California origin, the name Honey should not be used for this variety even as an appendage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRootstocks of accession:  \u003cspan\u003eCarrizo citrange, C-35 citrange\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeason of ripeness at Riverside, California:  \u003cspan\u003eJanuary to March\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrepared by the Givaudan Citrus Variety Collection at The University of California Riverside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cpp.ucr.edu","offers":[{"title":"3 buds","offer_id":52990917542182,"sku":null,"price":43.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 buds budstick","offer_id":52990917574950,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5730\/1030\/files\/image_8152c4e6-f493-4e90-8b70-038a3c8a70da.png?v=1775584042","url":"https:\/\/evergreenbotany.com\/zh-hant\/products\/murcott-mandarin-budwood","provider":"EVERGREEN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
