Help I'm killing my mandarins
Comments (7)Thanks for the tips everyone. It was a huge help to have you diagnose that it was an overwater issue. I repotted them today and there was insufficient drainage in the pot along with the soil retaining a too much water.. The soil in the bottom of the pot was soaked and smelled foul. I repotted with a retail cactus citrus mix and added about 33% perlite. I just dont have the time right now to hunt down all the ingredients for the gritty mix or 5-1-1 so I am crossing my fingers that this will workout. I watered and it drained very quick and I could hear the water running out of the bottom (they are on a rock area). I also added 4 more holes to the bottom of the pot in the ring that was collecting all the water....See MoreShasta Gold, Sumo, Mandarins, oh my!
Comments (29)Last week I found Shasta gold and sumos at Shoprite. Today I saw ruby tangos and golden nuggets in Walmart. The GNs didn’t look great, hard and pale. The ruby tangos looked beautiful, but they were expensive and I didn’t want to buy a whole box. I’m really impressed by how much variety there in mass market mandarains. So many more choices beyond cuties and halos. Still not as good as growing your own......See MoreShould I pinch off these flowers from my mandarin?
Comments (2)Let the tree go through the flowering cycle and enjoy the scent. Not every flower will produce fruit. Even if you get fruit, the tree will probably abort whatever it cannot handle. You will probably have some natural fruit drop in June too. During the summer, the tree may drop fruit to to some sort of stress. If you don't thin out the fruit as the year goes on, your option is to provide additional support to the branches. Don't worry about the tree having fruit to harvest until at least July....See MoreWhen should I harvest my satsuma mandarin?
Comments (12)On the when to pick subject, I think Satsumas can be a bit mild on flavor when they are dead ripe so I like picking and eating off the tree before they are dead ripe. It also helps me take some weight off the tree a bit earlier and maybe even spare some fruit from spoilage loss they might encounter later. This is a really humid and wet time of year in my area and sometimes the fruit get rotten on the low side where water drops stay longer....See MoreMonyet
