These are sure to blow the ‘Little Cuties’ out of the water:
Snapped this pic at WFS downtown LA today. Had no idea these were available. Ninja, although not that original, is still pretty decent branding!

MrClint-What was the price on the Kishu’s?
I didn’t buy any and didn’t note the price. Was in a lunch hour rush to be honest. The good news is that folks can taste a commercial offering before buying/planting the tree.
How do yall think Kishu’s rate in the whole pantheon of mandarins?
Just saw these also at a WFS in the valley. They sell for 5 dollars a pound.
I think ‘kishu’ are as good as it gets. Golden nuggets that I’ve had are excellent as well. Page makes the best juice.
Five dollars a pound…wow! Thanks for the report Clint. Kishu is a mandarin that is available in Texas. May add it to see how it will stack up next to the Mandarins I already grow. To my knowledge Gold Nugget isn’t at all and Pixie is extremely rare if it can be found here at all…

Yesterday in Wal Mart of all places I saw a bag of citrus that looked a little odd. They were labeled “Lumpy bumpy”. Then I noticed they were golden nugget mandarins which I had heard mention of here but never got the chance to try. Needless to say I bought a bag and they were quite good. They were easy to peel and had a rich citrus taste with a lot of juice. The kids loved them. Wish I could grow citrus here.
