Very healthy looking mandarines, Graham. Down here we've had a dry spell while they're developing, so poor quality and undersize fruit this year.

Ours are are a bit mixed, some normal good size as in the photo but others are small and hard. These and the orange tree have been picked as some from each tree have been eaten by flying foxes.

I was smiling when reading your description, because "...late August, the sun shines shorter every day, autumn is approaching and winter is waiting behind it..." This is what I could say;-))

Average August temperatures are 10C overnight and 20C maximum but this year we are having 12-15C overnight and 25-28C maximum.

Love the light of the changing season in your photo. You've not only made the mandarins very appealing, but the composition is very gentle and soothing. Delighful photo.

How cold does it get during winter where you are? Seems like it must be fairly mild if you can have mandarins already ripe.

Hi Laura, it usually doesn't frost at my place here on a ridge though lower places get frost. It has got a bit warm. August can be cold but not this year, July was the coldest and June was colder than usual.
