Description
Miho Wase is an early-ripening Satsuma mandarin listed by Waimea Nurseries (MANDARIN Miho (Satsuma)) alongside Kawano, Okitsu and Silverhill Satsumas. Satsuma types are seedless, very easy-peel mandarins and among the hardiest citrus for NZ conditions; Miho is one of the earliest, sweetest Wase strains, cropping before winter. Distinct from the catalog's existing Kuno Wase Satsuma. Waimea's pollination note flags Miho as the example seedless variety that can form seeds if cross-pollinated by another citrus flowering at the same time.
