I'm just hoping it survives at this stage. Feb 2011, it's looking much better after mulching with manure and watering more frequently.

Very easy to look after. Nice tree. Fruits used to be very sour until I was told to fix the problem by adding some lime and epsom salt. I have been doing it very year after that. I also found that the tree loves water when fruiting. Fruits grow to certain size then the skin continue to grow but not the inside so the fruits is not firm to touch but  softer,  I know it is time to pick the fruits.

Normally, this tree fruits every second year, last year it had a good crop and it looks like the same as last year. Thanks to the rain we have had lately.

16/11/10: I had a closer look at two of my Japanese varieties today and finally noticed some new growth. Yippie!

My daughter loves mandarins so it's great to have a few of these plants in our backyard. To date the two Japanese mandarin trees have not shown any growth whats so ever, they look exactly the same as when I first bought them. Well at least they still look healthy.

The tree is doing well compared to my other two Japanese mandarin varieties, and is producing lots of new leaves. This may be due to the fact that it gets more sunlight.

The plant label only says Japanese Seedless so I am not sure what variety it is. I hope it's an Okitsu Wase because I already have a Miho Wase.

Mandarin - Imperial ^5/10

Comments: -

Prone to leaf curling and yellowing in winter due to the cold, but picks up again in spring and summer.  Very healthy.  Requires next to no pruning, except for removal of the occasional browned off twig.

It hasn't fruited yet, but it has tried to.  I live in hope that this year it will come to the party.
