Mikan Orange Tree

Mikan are a type of Mandarin, but resemble a Tangerine. Mikan are sweet, juicy and easy to peel. Mikan are mostly seedless, but there are occasional seeds in them. I planted a few earlier this year and a few sprouted. I am not sure if they will ever produce fruit, but they are beautiful trees, so I will keep them trimmed small, like I do with my Kinkan tree and enjoy their beauty. 

Second Mikan Tree about five months old.

I planted some basil in the same pot and hope it does not stunt the tree's growth. I like to cross-utilize my planters when possible.
