How do I care for my Dwarf Mandarin tree?

by Penne Johnson

Answered

I have a dwarf mandarin tree and so love it. As I just got it I wanted to know if it has those heavenly sweet blossomslike the larger trees do. Mine has 3 oranges on it and as they are normal size fruit on a small branch, I am making somebranch resters. Any ideas. I plan on putting it in one of the large barrel planters as I have no dirt on my patio. TheH. Depot told me it is fine to leave it in the 5Gal planter it came in until next Spring summer. Thanks

While it will survive, it will not thrive. My suggestion is to repot when you can depending on where you live. See if these help.

  This is such a complete very well explained growing of my dwarf Mandarin. Thanks so much for helping me. I will plant it when I
  get paid this month, so that it will be in the larger pot. Looks like
  I don't need that much larger pot, but am so happy to have this
  tree. My 3 fruits that are on it now are nearer the larger size, not
  tiny like these are. Thanks again.
