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.

Deliciously sweet large thin skinned seedless satsuma mandarins - Robbie Engalls variety.

October 2009:  Lots of flowers but have removed most of them to prevent distortion to branches.

November 2009:  Growing well.

December 2009 to March 2010:  Whatever flowers I left on the tree have become nice large Satsuma mandarins but still green.

November 2011:  Sprinkled potassium sulphate and three scoops of Osmocote.

May 2012:  Pruned heavily leaving some branches and leaves.
