Introducing the Nasnaran Mandarin Tree, an exquisite addition to any citrus collection, available in both 1 and 3-gallon sizes. Known by its local Indonesian names Jeruk Limau, Jeruk Limo, or the intriguing 'leprous lime', this tree bears the scientific name Citrus amblycarpa (also referenced as Citrus limonellus). Unlike its often-confused cousin, the kaffir lime, the Nasnaran Mandarin stands out with its unique characteristics and utility in the kitchen.
This tree is celebrated for its bountiful juice content, far surpassing that of the kaffir lime, making it a culinary treasure in Indonesian cuisine. Its juice is a key ingredient in the fiery sambal, adding a burst of acidity and zesty flavor that elevates traditional dishes. If you're looking to bring an authentic taste of Southeast Asia into your cooking, the Nasnaran Mandarin is your go-to citrus. Each tree we offer is grafted with mature, certified buds, ensuring not only the authenticity of the variety but also a strong start for your own citrus journey.
Whether you're a home gardener with a passion for exotic flavors or a chef looking to expand your ingredient palette, the Nasnaran Mandarin Tree is more than just a plant; it's a gateway to culinary exploration. Its easy-to-peel fruits promise a tangy, refreshing experience, perfect for both fresh use and innovative recipes. Embrace the vibrant essence of Indonesian cuisine with this beautifully grafted specimen, ready to thrive in your garden or greenhouse.
Available in both 1 gallon and 3 gallon sizes.
Nasnaran Mandarin Tree also known as Jeruk Limau, Jeruk Limo, or leprous lime
Scientific Name: Citrus amblycarpa (sometimes also referred to as Citrus limonellus)
This is another citrus fruit known in Indonesia as jeruk limau or jeruk limo, often confused with kaffir lime but distinctly different.
Nasnaran Mandarin is prized for its juice, which is more abundant than in kaffir lime, and is commonly used in Indonesian sambal (chili paste) and other dishes where lime juice is needed for its acidity and flavor.

These are a few questions we are often asked and their answers:
-
Why dont you ship to FL or CA?
We aren't able to due to USDA restrictions, we wish we could but we can't. -
When will my tree fruit?
We graft with certified mature buds so our trees are capable of flowering and producing fruit in the first season, but will definitely flower and produce fruit in the second season. We recommend removing fruit for the first couple years to allow the tree to focus on branching and growing roots. -
What does this variety taste like?
In most cases the original Budwood program we purchased Certified buds from does not offer much in the way of descriptions or taste information. We then grow those buds out and continuously harvest new buds and then sell young trees so we simply don't always end up with fruit to try so unless its listed, we don't know what they taste like. -
Do you have anymore of these available?
We try hard to add inventory when it grows large enough, if a product shows as 0 available please click the notify button to be emailed as soon as we add inventory to the site. -
What rootstock is this grafted onto?
We use a handful of rootstock varieties for different reasons when we are grafted. If the variety says "Dwarf" then that variety is grafted to Flying Dragon. If it is not listed as Dwarf then we either used a standard rootstock or semi dwarfing rootstock. When fully mature the difference between Dwarf and Standard is only about 80% difference, it just takes dwarf longer to grow that large. You can maintain tree size through pot size and effective pruning.
