Our current Kishu offering is grown in Ojai, California, and packed by Las Palmlitas Ranch in Carpinteria. Derived from the Pixie, which originates from China and Japan, the improved Kishu yields are due to the way we cultivate this variety in the US. Smaller and sweeter than a Satsuma, the Kishu mandarin boasts a thin, easy to peel, bright orange skin, with deliciously sweet fruit. Irresistibly cute and a great talking point, try one on your produce stand today!
