Soft young leaves on branches! Plenty of fresh mandarin leaves, food for swallowtail butterflies. Good sun exposure.

Fresh green mandarin leaves
We will pack as many as fit in the bag, with branches.
Since soft leaves can wither in the heat, we mix sturdy leaves from the branches with soft young leaves.
This is a suitable amount for feeding about 5 small butterflies until they pupate in early spring.
Occasionally, white flowers may be included.
We harvest after you order and ship on the same day.
They are healthy enough to root if planted in the soil.
Refrigerating them upon arrival seems to help them last longer.

Sweet mandarins grow every year in our sunny garden.
Last year, many swallowtail butterflies flew away.
And just three days ago this year, a swallowtail butterfly laid eggs on the leaves of a small potted plant before flying away.
We move them to a swallowtail butterfly habitat and raise them with the young leaves of our garden's mandarin tree.
