Tangerine
MANDARIN Citrus reticulata- Firstly, the name 'tangerine' has been
applied to very orange-red colored mandarins cultivars - presumably as
a description of the color, as much as anything else. However, to avoid
confusion, it is best to stick with the correct name-'mandarin'. Without
a doubt, the mandarin is one of the most valuable fruit for the small space
home fruit gardener in the warm temperate areas. The trees are small to
very small if grafted onto darfing or ultra dwarfing (flying dragon) rootstock,
they start bearing within three years of planting out, the flowers are
attractive, the tree in fruit is attractive, they don't need pruning, almost
none need a pollinator, the range of flavors in the mandarins is reasonably
diverse, and there are early, mid, and late season varieties to give a
long fruiting season.

Star Fruit

CARAMBOLA Averrhoa carambola 'star fruit', 'five corner fruit'. Although
relatively slow growing in the subtropics, Carambolas are adaptable trees
and make open, small to medium sized, attractive landscape specimens, with
pinnate leaves and clusters of small purple flowers. The fruits are more
or less oval, and so deeply and sharply ribbed that a fruit cut in half
shows the shape of a five pointed star. The fruit come in sour and sweet
versions. The yellow, thin skinned fruit have clear, juicy, crisp flesh.
It produces it's main crop in the cooler time of year. Carambolas are relatively
easy to espalier against a wall- a useful attribute for small gardens.
