I am a bit nervous about growing citrus as I have heard they are hard work, and I am a novice. The tree is growing slowly.

Comments: -

pretty tree, supposed to be tasy and productive.

Tried my first fruit of this just now, it was delicious! sweet and juicy, one seed per section easy to peel. Fruited very quickly its only been in the ground a year and it has 8 fruit. I dont pick them off when the trees are young as I have plenty of water (biocycle) and no need for extra deep roots.

No fruit, No Flowers even after 4 years but I grew it from a seed and I feel that if I can grow a mandarin from a seed I can grow anything... Hopefully one day i might just get a fruit of it and then start another from it seeds...

Mandarin - Ellandale (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: -

Only a young tree but healthy.

It is a bit over shadowed by a tree fern and paw paw tree and hasn't fruited as yet.  I'm not sure how quickly to expect mandarins to fruit?  Anyway, will give it a bit more time/ growth yet.

Still young.  Ants have been a bit of a problem but have put a sticky guard on the truck which seems to help.  Got a couple of fruit last year (which I probably should have culled).

A few more fruit on at present.  Looking very healthy.
