Mandarins

    3 responses

Ian L starts with ...
Can anyone advise on growing mandarins in Manila, Philipines.
I'm doing some health work with kids in urban poverty- their health is poor, no doubt in part due to their lack of fruit and veggie. I'm wondering about planting some mandarin trees for these kids. Suggestions?

Ian, citrus don't always perform well in tropical climates. There are many tropical fruits that are highly nutritious that would do better.

Have a look at what is sold in local markets. Here are a few suggestions.

You are at about 17 latitude so the mandarin options are limited. Only grow emperor, honey murcott, hickson and the common thai variety. Only try one orange and that is Valencia,no lemons except rough skinned, any limes and any pomelo.Emperor mandarin and the thai types are the citrus you really need.
