This has been the best tree in my potted fruit collection. It is now a healthy bushy small tree covered with fruit. Last year it had about 15 manderines reached maturity.  The tree was covered in flowers in winter and after the huge ripe ornage coloured fruit from the season before were picked (June).  This tree gets the same treatment as my other citris but it is the best. It is in a 60cm terracotta pot.

Winter 2011- produces a very heavy crop but afterward slooked very tiered. I tip prunes and ferilised with Blood and bone.  It has recovered and looks very healthy again but didn't flower. I think its taking a rest. I used some of the last fruit and made marmalade with the last of the passonfruit.

Comments: - I only purchased my mandarine tree from Daleys a year ago. I wasnt very confident when it arrived as it was in a little box. It has grown incredibly fast, looks magnificent and we have even had a lovely mandarin which is sweet and delicious.

Question: What can i do to stop the leaves curling and dropping like the other citrus trees I have in the garden? I really dont want to use pesticides but I think we have a few problems: somethings eating the leaves; and something is causing the leaves to curl and drop off.

Dug up from cramped space at my father's house in winter 2009 as a 1.2m tree. Strong first flush of new growth and flowers. Pruned heavily to correct shape (thanks Jimmy) in Dec 09 and repotted in large pot . Growth buds almost immediately. Rubbing off unwanted locations

I've listed as Dwarf, but I've not yet got a clue what variety it is...oops, this is supposed to be an orange, not a mandarin
