Mandarin (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

It gives tasty fruit in winter and looks good, I am not sure of the variety, grandma planted it in 1987, it gets runoff from the roof which no doubt helps it thrive. Interestingly this tree has a raised bed covering the graft, roots are growing from above the graft. I wonder if this increases the size and salinity tolerance of this tree.

Mandarin - Japanese seedless (Grafted)

Comments: - Purchased from my council nursery on a whim, as we loved the seedless and thin-skinned variety of mandarin we would eat all winter-long in Japan. Hoping it takes off.

The fruits are yummy and refreshing and the flowers are heavenly scented. Growing as an informal espalier at the moment in a 50 cm pot just like my double grafted orange. They are drip irrigated to easily manage the watering regime. Regular application of epsom salt and sulphate of potash to keep them lush and fruitful. Regular pruning and tieing to maintain shape of the tree.

Mandarins ^9/10

Comments: -

Apart from 2010 it has always produced a great crop and one year even  'hid' the passionfruit vine from us as the vine grew over the canopy.  We found we had passionfruits when our King Charles Cavalier brought them to us after they dropped.

Planted: 2003

Water Given in: Spring

Question:

Mandarins are usually this year they are tiny - about one fifth of normal size but still nice and sweet to eat!!  Why would they be so tiny?

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.

Dwarf Mandarin - Emperor ^10/10

Comments: -

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.
