This little "Mighty Might" is a prolific, heavy cropper. After it's first year, barely knee-high & 1 metre across, it yielded 34 fruit. Superior texture, flavour & seedless. Treat leafminer & grasshopper with Yates Pyrethrum/Pest Oil every 2-3 weeks | Eric - Banora Point, NSW 30-Jul-2019

I hope to see more growth this summer. Has not fruited yet. Purchased from Daleys.

September 2009: Starts to flower. Applied sulphate of potash and watered in. Removed all visible fruit buds to concentrate on growth and prevent branch distortion.

October 2009: Removed most flowers to allow branches to form properly and to avoid distortion.

November 2009: Tree looking healthy and some growth recorded.

December 2009 to March 2010: Tree looking healthy and more growth recorded. The few mandarins on the tree are getting bigger but still green.

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.
