Since my first post about my Tangelo tree I have harvested a handful of Tango mandarins (tangor?) and a handful of Clementine mandarins from 2 small trees that were allowed to fruit too soon. The fruit was great and since then I have been doing a lot of reading about mandarins and tangors. There are many delicious varieties with variable ripening times and I plan on growing many more of these in the future. I have Navel and Valencia oranges available from neighbors yards and nothing came close to the flavor of my little mandarins. My 2 tree's are still in containers and they need to be potted up soon. They are recovering nicely from my abuse and I could use advice on when to pot up. I don't plan on letting them fruit this year.
I may be selling my house this year and have not been putting anything in the ground for a while.
