So far this tree is about 7' in the pot and heavily flowered. I just purchased it but it was the best looking tree on the lot. I plan on putting it in the ground soon. I will update as time goes on.

Mandarin - Satsuma seedless (Grafted) ^6/10

Comments: -

A Japanese seedless thin-skinned sweet variety purchased from Bonnyrigg Garden Centre. 

September 2009:  Some flowering activity recorded.  Applied sulphate of potash and watered in.  Removed all visible fruit buds to concentrate on growth and prevent branch distortion. 

October 2009:  Some growth recorded.

November 2009:  More growth recorded and tree is looking healthy.

December 2009 to March 2010:  Lots more growth and tree is sure looking healthy.

February 2012:  A very healthy tree with lots of fruit.  Looking forward to enjoying the fruits of my labour.

Mandarin - Nules (Clementine) (Grafted)

Comments: -

Included as part of a small citrus hedge (along wiht the Eureka lemon - which has since been moved and replaced with the sublime) this should be maintained as a small bush - and hopefully keep me with sufficient tasty mandarins!)
In Jan 2012 I pruned it once again to keep it low (now about 75cm). It is becoming very bushy.

Bought because my kids love mandarins. Planted Spring 2010, basically has not grown at all. I'm hoping a warmer summer will make a difference (last summer was quite mild). Had a water tube around it all winter for frost protection. No leaf yellowing or loss - just no growth!

This is my favourite mandarin (and same for kids too) as they are always sweet. I am not a fan of mandarins with puffy skin for some reason.
