Citrus - Mandarin - Kinnow

Kinnow was developed at the University of California Research Center, Riverside by H. B. Frost in 1915 and released in 1935. Kinnow is the most widely-planted mandarin in Pakistan. The tree grows vigorously and has an upright form, with a strong tendency to alternate bearing. The fruit is oblate with a smooth orange rind that does not peel especially well for a mandarin.  This variety is very sweet when ripe, seedy and has the flavor characteristic of many mandarin beverages. Kinnow is mid-season in maturity and holds well on the tree.
