Discover the “ ❤️ heart ❤️” of the Australia Afourer Mandarins! 

A popular Mandarin with vibrant orange-red colour encasing easy-to-peel segments that are low in seed and very flavoursome Mandarin that is sweet and tangy at the same time, and is very juicy. A moderate-sized tree that bears a regular crop of large fruits, which should be harvested based on flavour, not colour, for maximum sweetness.

An inherent characteristic of Afourer Mandarins is that sometimes they develop amber-coloured, gummy droplets in the core of the fruit.

Gumming occurs when there are extremely hot growing conditions and is caused by the tearing of the white core tissue of the fruits and tiny drops of juice crystalize to form dark brown sugar drops. Ironically, the same conditions are responsible for the development of the sweet-tasting fruit. They are not caused by insects or disease and are totally natural and harmless.

Simply remove the gum spots, and they are still safe and good to eat!
