Mandarin - Emperor (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: -

Just purchased my Emperor Mandarin tree few weeks ago. Its in a pot (38cm diameter & 35cm height). Potting mix is Richgrow rose and citrus potting mix, fertilise with bit of blood and bond and fruit and citrus premium fertiliser, and a dash of potash. I use Tee Tree Mulch but leave about 2 inches unmulched around the trunk of the tree.The nursery advice to water twice a day here on Brisbane, so I have been doing that so far.

It looks healthy and doing well. It gets full sun till about 2 - 3pm each day, after which it gets partial sun. Height of tree from soil line upwards is about 74cm. potting mix and fertiliser and so far all seem healthy.

Late 2013, Update: Tree is still in a big pot although not the dwarf varity. Has plenty of flowers and little fruit forming (Early September). Will be transfering in the ground after fruiting. Had not done so earlier as we were renting but now have bought a house and can start putting my trees in the ground!

June 2014: It is finally in the ground. trimmed it right back and now lots of new growth on it.

Just planted November 2015. 

It's currently in full sun. I water almost daily depending on weather. I planted in a 75 litre planter bag with a BIG bottom layer of course grade pine bark then kind of equal amounts of good quality potty mix, coir peat, perlite and a shovel of organic pellets mixed through. A really good layer of small pine bark on top.

Comments

do you have any updates on this tree? How tall did it grow? how much fruit per year? Thank you for your time.

Dwarf Mandarin - Imperial ^9/10

Comments: - Espaliered. Did not fruit until 3rd year of planting (I assume it was establishing itself). One dwarf is not enough in long run if there are two or more people in household who like mandarins. Have heard it can produce lower harvest bi-yearly but not seen that happen yet.

MANDARINS

Mandarin - Emperor (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

This is the second of my two mandarine trees, the other being an Imperial. Unknown rootstock as it was not identified on the tag.June 2016. This tree set as first fruit last season and in a couple of weeks will be picking its second crop.

It has not been as fruitful as the Imperial even though it is in the same environment and gets the same care. Nor  is it as vigorous however this may be the result of differing root stock. Its advantage is that  it will harvest later than the Imperial and thereby extend the season. Usual citrus management means that all my citrus are dealt with at the same time.

Dec 2017 A small crop of tasty sweet fruit. The tree suffers nitrogen deficiency more than the other citrus. A regular dose of iron chelate fixes that up

Mandarin - Imperial (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

I had this growing in our last home and it was a wonderful tree and a great bearer of sweet juicy fruit that survived on the tree well.When we moved into our new home I decided to give this another go.

The original did take a long to fruit, I think about 7 years and I had to threaten it with removal before it behaved

June 2016  We had a large crop of smallish fruit so this coming season the fruit will require heavy thinning

December 2016 This tree is doing exceptionally well. I thinned the crop quite heavily for this year as there are so many immature fruit it that I couldn't see it holding them all. I am aldo sure that ckearing the ground of competing grass to the drip line, muclhing and fertilising at the change of each season has made a big  difference.

May 2017. What a great tree this tree is! Over 100 beautiful mandys harvested this year. What a goer!

Dec 2017 Not as big crop for 2018 but should be a good one

Dwarf Mandarin (Seedling) ^1/10

Comments: -

It's either the Mandarin or the Orange. One of them got lost during the drought and the tags fell off ages ago so we can't remember which one... It's covered in fruit, though, so not too long of a wait.

Mandarin - Fremont ^5/10

Comments: -

growing steadily. the plant had small fruit when purchased. removed fruit to concentrate on growing

2016 very impressive tree. quite small still but heavy producer. this years fruit larger and sweeter. the trick is to leave fruit to fully mature on tree for maximum sweetness.  had trouble this year with pink scale and black sooty mound  but it was a wet spring treating with eco oil.

Mandarin - Okitsu wase (Satsuma) (Grafted)

Comments: - Like the fact it will be seedles,, haven't tried it yet. All our fruit trees will be grown in large containers/pots as we have some very large estabilished trees, gums and none of fruit trees were growing well. So we transplanted them into large pots.
