I just bought 2 ponkan mandarins recently but I've NEVER been successful in trying to keep any sort of plant or flower alive let alone a tree lol! I'd LOVE to know what all you did to your trees to keep them up? Please share if you can! 🙏 GOD bless!
Hi Jessica. Thanks for watching. A year after buying my first citrus trees and watching them slowly die, I realized I need to study about how to care for a citrus tree, so I did a lot of online research and study from people that really knew their stuff. Places like Tropical Fruit Forum on other websites have some good information. Facebook has lots of good groups for citrus owners to share tips, too. There's lots of information to process, but probably the most important things to look at are proper potting medium, watering schedule, fertilizer, and pest control.
I’ve got a Seedless Kishu, and I almost threw it away. I’m beyond glad that I kept it because it’s starting to fruit very well and the small, easy-to-peel mandarin are very sweet indeed.
Thanks for watching, Jose. I bought the Ponkan in 2018 and it was small, about 20 inches tall at the time. Now it's around 4 feet tall and fruits regularly.
