It does best in warmer climates and is recommended for USDA growing zones 8-11 when planting outdoors. If you’re in a colder zone, pot your mandarin tree and bring it indoors for the cold season, keeping it in a warm, sunny location. The Page Mandarin is a hybrid between the Minneola Tangelo and Clementine. Its dark, glossy green leaves are a beautiful contrast to the white flowers and small, orange-red fruit. Enjoy fruit as early as October and all the way through February. Their flesh is thin and leathery, but easy to peel which makes them easy to eat right off the tree. Their juicy, rich, sweet flavor is commonly used by orange growers for making the best orange juice. Pair your Page Mandarin with the Pixie Mandarin for the best pollination results.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mandarin trees will do best in warmer climates as it is classified as a tropical plant. Zones 8 to 11 are ideal for outdoor planting. However, if you do experience cold winters, plant your mandarin tree in a container and bring it inside for the fall and winter seasons. We recommend planting in Spring through Fall for outdoors since they are sensitive to colder temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelecting a location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a location where your tree is going to get plenty of sunlight, 6-8 hours per day is best. They can tolerate some shade, but thrive in full sun. You’ll want to ensure trees are spaced properly if planting more than one. These trees also do better in areas with high humidity so you may also need to create humidity for your tree by misting the leaves daily with water. Potted plants do enjoy a daily misting for humidity but placing a tray with rocks filled with water under the plant will feed humidity to the tree as the water evaporates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Directions (in Ground):\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are located in zones 8-11 and your winter temperatures stay consistently warm, your mandarin will do well being planting outside in the ground. Be sure the area has well draining soil.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1) Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root system.\u003cbr\u003e2) Place the tree in the hole and back fill it with your sandy, well drained, acidic soil. If you have clay soil, try amending it with sand, stone, perlite or fine potting soil.\u003cbr\u003e3) Tamp the soil down as you backfill the hole to cut back on any pockets from forming.\u003cbr\u003e4) After planting, be sure to give your mandarin tree a deep watering for about 5 minutes. Mulching around the tree will help insulate the roots and keep your plant warm in the colder winter months as well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Instructions (potted):\u003c\/strong\u003e If your winter temperatures are consistently below 40 degrees, plant your tree in a container that can easily be brought outside in the summer months and inside for the winter. A planter with built-in casters is a good choice so it can easily be moved. Choose a pot slightly larger than what it was shipped in (1-2 pot sizes) that has plenty of holes in the bottom to allow for drainage. Be sure to plant in well-draining potting soil preferably recommended for acid loving citrus plants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1) Fill your pot halfway with soil. Remove the tree from its original pot and gently place it in the potting soil.\u003cbr\u003e2) Fill in around the tree with the remainder of the potting soil but be sure not to cover the grafted area of the tree. Leave about an inch from the soil surface to the rim of the pot for easy watering.\u003cbr\u003e3) Lightly pack down the soil. Immediately after planting, give your tree a deep watering until it flows from the holes in the bottom of the pot.\u003cbr\u003e4) Place your tree in an area of your home, preferably a south-facing window, where it is going to get plenty of sunlight. Supplement with a grow light if it will not receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. You may also need to create humidity for your tree by placing the pot on a saucer of pebbles or misting the leaves daily with water.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering: \u003c\/strong\u003eMandarins do not like wet feet. Be sure to give your tree a deep watering so that it can penetrate into the root system. After watering, allow the top 2-3 inches of the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Yellowing and droopy leaves is a common sign of over watering while brown, dry leaves are a sign of under watering. Mulching can help retain the soil moisture and also combat competing grasses\/weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor potted mandarins, stick your index finger into the soil down to about 2 inches. If there is moisture present, hold off on watering until it feels more dry at that depth. When ready to water, stop once you see it escaping the drainage holes at the base of the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination Assistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e You can pollinate your indoor trees by hand since most people do not keep a healthy bee population within their home. Simply take a small, dry, fine tipped paint brush and stick it into the center of the bloom. Swirl it around and collect the pollen on the brush. Go to the next bloom and repeat the process until every bloom has been treated. The bloom will fall off naturally and the fruit will begin to form.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization: \u003c\/strong\u003eFeed your mandarin tree during the warmer spring and summer seasons with a citrus specific fertilizer once every six weeks. Espoma Citrus Tone is highly recommended but any organic fertilizer specifically for citrus should suffice. This will help keep your tree on a healthy growth cycle but also replenish the nutrients in the soil. During the fall and winter season, ease back to fertilizing once every 2-3 months. Once the tree has matured a bit and has got a few years on it, you can skip the cold season fertilization. The same fertilizing regimen should be followed for potted mandarin trees as well. Make sure to follow the application instructions written on the fertilizer bag.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning: \u003c\/strong\u003ePruning can be done at any time of the year for in ground planted mandarins except in the winter. Make 45-degree angle cuts to remove dead or crossing limbs and also to thin out the tree to allow more light to flow between the branches. “Leggy” looking branches may indicate that there is not enough light getting to the tree’s interior. After the tree fruits, remove any dead wood and ventilate the center of the tree. Remove suckers as they form\/grow from the base as they will steal away nutrients from the primary trunk of the tree. Pruning can be done at any time of the year for the potted mandarin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":48860123594922,"sku":"30687","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/mzwbfkmbnohv_76c15e06-575e-4c03-818f-1090c5af401f.jpg?v=1784864176"},{"product_id":"genoa-italian-lemon-tree-cu0j36","title":"Genoa (Italian) Lemon Tree","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Classic Lemon Tree, with a Twist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasily Harvest your Lemons and Enjoy. \u003c\/strong\u003eThis lemon tree is a showstopper whether potted in a container on your deck, in your kitchen, or planted in your yard. \u003cstrong\u003eGreen foliage frames the bright golden yellow fruit and white blossoms\u003c\/strong\u003e .

Although the tree will survive and grow in partial shade, it will not produce as many fruits as a tree grown in full sun. Lemon trees tend to be less cold-hardy than other citrus varieties, so ideally you should plant the Genoa lemon tree on the south side of a home or structure. Planting the tree close to a building helps provide the tree with additional frost protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Instructions: \u003c\/strong\u003e Plant the Genoa lemon tree in a location with well-draining soil. The tree will tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, but it prefers slightly acidic soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen planting a lemon tree, always plant the tree slightly higher than ground level. Dig the hole a little shallower than the length of the tree’s root ball. Place the rootball into the hole and firmly tamp the soil down around the tree’s root system. Add a two to three-inch layer of mulch across the soil’s surface after planting to help keep the tree evenly moist while it establishes its root system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Genoa lemon tree will thrive in a container, which makes it an ideal tree choice for a patio or balcony garden. The container should be approximately 25 percent larger than the tree’s root ball. A clay pot is ideal because the sides breath, unlike plastic. Make sure there are drainage holes in the bottom of the pot to keep the tree’s roots from becoming waterlogged. Once planted, the lemon tree should not require repotting for at least two to three years. Place the potted Genoa lemon tree in a location where it will receive seven to eight hours of sunlight per day. Water the tree when the first two inches of soil feels dry to the touch. Remember, a tree grown in a pot requires more frequent watering during a hot spell than a tree grown in the ground. Fertilize the potted lemon tree with a general purpose citrus fertilizer. Follow the directions on the fertilizer for application times and rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering: \u003c\/strong\u003e Water the lemon tree deeply once a week. During the first year, the soil should be kept evenly moist. Once the tree has established a sufficient root system, it can tolerate occasional drought. Established Genoa lemon trees prefer to be watered deeply at least once every ten days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed the lemon tree a high nitrogen fertilizer that is manufactured for citrus trees. Apply the fertilizer every four weeks from winter through spring. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for application rates. During the summer and fall months, the tree will benefit from an application of fertilizer every six weeks. Applying a two or three-inch layer of organic material beneath the tree every month also helps naturally provide nutrients for the tree to maintain healthy growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePests and Diseases:\u003c\/strong\u003e A systemic insecticide helps protect the Genoa lemon tree from pests. Follows the insecticide instructions for application ratios. Often a black or gray powdery substance will appear on the tree’s leaves and stems. The powdery substance is normally a form of mildew that is often made worse by insects. If mildew should appear on the tree’s leaves, fruit or branches, a general purpose fungicide will normally cure the problem. When applying the fungicide, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning: \u003c\/strong\u003e Lemon trees need to be pruned once every one or two years. The tree can be pruned at any time of the year, but ideally, you should prune right after harvesting to give the tree ample time to recuperate before producing a new crop. Lemon trees require a great deal of sunlight, so prune away areas of dense growth to allow light to flow through the tree’s branches and foliage. Cut the branch about an inch away from the tree’s trunk at an angle that is directed away from the tree. Do not prune more than one-third of the tree’s branches. The tree needs to always have at least three to five main branches to produce adequate fruit.

You can keep your plant outside during the warmest months, but when temperatures begin to drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll need to begin training the tree to move indoors. Training is easy, simply bring your tree inside for 1 hour on the first day and increase the time inside by 2-3 hours each day.

It does best in warmer climates and is recommended for USDA growing zones 8-11 when planting outdoors. If you’re in a colder zone, pot your mandarin tree and bring it indoors for the cold season, keeping it in a warm, sunny location. The Page Mandarin is a hybrid between the Minneola Tangelo and Clementine. Its dark, glossy green leaves are a beautiful contrast to the white flowers and small, orange-red fruit. Enjoy fruit as early as October and all the way through February. Their flesh is thin and leathery, but easy to peel which makes them easy to eat right off the tree. Their juicy, rich, sweet flavor is commonly used by orange growers for making the best orange juice.

Zones 8 to 11 are ideal for outdoor planting. However, if you do experience cold winters, plant your mandarin tree in a container and bring it inside for the fall and winter seasons. We recommend planting in Spring through Fall for outdoors since they are sensitive to colder temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelecting a location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a location where your tree is going to get plenty of sunlight, 6-8 hours per day is best. They can tolerate some shade, but thrive in full sun. You’ll want to ensure trees are spaced properly if planting more than one. These trees also do better in areas with high humidity so you may also need to create humidity for your tree by misting the leaves daily with water. Potted plants do enjoy a daily misting for humidity but placing a tray with rocks filled with water under the plant will feed humidity to the tree as the water evaporates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Directions (in Ground):\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are located in zones 8-11 and your winter temperatures stay consistently warm, your mandarin will do well being planting outside in the ground.

A planter with built-in casters is a good choice so it can easily be moved. Choose a pot slightly larger than what it was shipped in (1-2 pot sizes) that has plenty of holes in the bottom to allow for drainage. Be sure to plant in well-draining potting soil preferably recommended for acid loving citrus plants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1) Fill your pot halfway with soil. Remove the tree from its original pot and gently place it in the potting soil.\u003cbr\u003e2) Fill in around the tree with the remainder of the potting soil but be sure not to cover the grafted area of the tree. Leave about an inch from the soil surface to the rim of the pot for easy watering.\u003cbr\u003e3) Lightly pack down the soil. Immediately after planting, give your tree a deep watering until it flows from the holes in the bottom of the pot.\u003cbr\u003e4) Place your tree in an area of your home, preferably a south-facing window, where it is going to get plenty of sunlight. Supplement with a grow light if it will not receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. You may also need to create humidity for your tree by placing the pot on a saucer of pebbles or misting the leaves daily with water.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering: \u003c\/strong\u003eMandarins do not like wet feet. Be sure to give your tree a deep watering so that it can penetrate into the root system. After watering, allow the top 2-3 inches of the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Yellowing and droopy leaves is a common sign of over watering while brown, dry leaves are a sign of under watering. Mulching can help retain the soil moisture and also combat competing grasses\/weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor potted mandarins, stick your index finger into the soil down to about 2 inches. If there is moisture present, hold off on watering until it feels more dry at that depth.

Simply take a small, dry, fine tipped paint brush and stick it into the center of the bloom. Swirl it around and collect the pollen on the brush. Go to the next bloom and repeat the process until every bloom has been treated. The bloom will fall off naturally and the fruit will begin to form.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization: \u003c\/strong\u003eFeed your mandarin tree during the warmer spring and summer seasons with a citrus specific fertilizer once every six weeks. Espoma Citrus Tone is highly recommended but any organic fertilizer specifically for citrus should suffice. This will help keep your tree on a healthy growth cycle but also replenish the nutrients in the soil. During the fall and winter season, ease back to fertilizing once every 2-3 months. Once the tree has matured a bit and has got a few years on it, you can skip the cold season fertilization. The same fertilizing regimen should be followed for potted mandarin trees as well. Make sure to follow the application instructions written on the fertilizer bag.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning: \u003c\/strong\u003ePruning can be done at any time of the year for in ground planted mandarins except in the winter. Make 45-degree angle cuts to remove dead or crossing limbs and also to thin out the tree to allow more light to flow between the branches. “Leggy” looking branches may indicate that there is not enough light getting to the tree’s interior. After the tree fruits, remove any dead wood and ventilate the center of the tree. Remove suckers as they form\/grow from the base as they will steal away nutrients from the primary trunk of the tree.

Make sure the soil is well-drained and the area is free from grass, which will compete for water and nutrients. Dig a hole in the ground that is twice as wide as the root ball. Place your tree in the hole, with 1 inch of the root ball sticking out from the top of the soil. Water thoroughly after planting. Add a thick layer of mulch around the base of the tree, but keep the mulch 6 inches away from the tree trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Planting Instructions: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlant your tree in a large barrel such as a whiskey barrel or a 20-gallon pot. Plant in well-draining soil and make sure your container has proper drainage holes. Your tree may become heavy, so adding casters to the bottom of your container can help you transport your tree inside during the winter. Place a layer of rocks on the bottom of your container to aid in drainage, then add your soil and tree, making sure the tree stands vertical and upright. Bring your tree inside when the temperature reaches below 25 degrees Fahrenheit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e You only need to water your tree when the soil is dry. For trees planted in the ground, check the soil at a depth of 5 inches. For container plants, check the soil at a depth of 2 inches. Depending on the humidity in your area, you will likely only need to water your tree once a week. The roots of the orange tree are wide, so be sure to water past the drip line for trees that are planted in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e You will need to add a citrus fertilizer to your tree during its harvest. When you begin to see fruit, apply your first round of citrus fertilizer according to package directions for the size of your tree. Add additional doses of fertilizer every month or two during the entire harvest season. You will also need to add a dose of fertilizer twice during the dormant season. As your tree matures, you can increase the time between dosing during the harvest season, and you can skip the dormant fertilization all together.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e It is not recommended that you prune orange trees, expect to remove dead and diseased branches. You can prune your tree to maintain its shape and height, but be sure to do so before the harvest season. If your tree is planted outside, you will need to whitewash any pruned branches to protect them from chill.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePests\u003c\/strong\u003e: When watering your tree, spray the leaves and branches with a hose to knock off any larva or eggs.  If you see any eggs, larva or worms sprayed off, be sure to put them in a sealed trash bag and throw them away to prevent them from re-inhabiting the tree. Keep the area around your tree free from grass and prune off any branches that touch the ground. These measures will prevent ant infestations. You may also spray your tree with insecticidal soap at the beginning of the harvest season. If your tree becomes infested, you will need to use an insect oil to rid the tree of pests and prevent diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting: \u003c\/strong\u003eDo not use color as an indicator of whether or not your orange is ripe. Instead, learn your tree's habits by occasionally picking fruit to determine how ripe it is. Ripe fruit will be firm and juicy, but not soft or moldy. You can wait for fruit to fall or you can pull the fruit from the branch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Once picked, oranges will not continue to ripen. You can store oranges in your pantry for up to a week. However, oranges will also stay fresh in the refrigerator for a month. To freeze oranges for juicing, simply wash them and cut them in half. They will keep in freezer safe containers for up to a year. You can also peel and cut your oranges and freeze them in the same way. You can also use a wet pack method, which involves storing peeled oranges in a container with a 40% sugar-water syrup.

Recommended for USDA growing zones 8-11 when grown outdoors, its small size makes it perfect for those located in colder climates to grow this tree in a container. The dark green, glossy leaves have a unique double-leaf characteristic where two leaves are joined together. They make for a beautiful backdrop to the white pop of flowers in spring. The limes themselves are also unique as their skin is not smooth like a typical lime but rather has a bumpy appearance. While the limes and leaves on this tree give off a citrusy scent that will freshen your home, the fruit itself is often described as too tart and not juicy enough to eat alone. Instead, the rind is often used when grated finely as well as the leaves which can also be used to flavor Asian dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelecting a location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a location where your tree is going to get plenty of sunlight, 6-8 hours per day is best.
