Mandarin clementine
Latin name:
Mandarin Clementine
Common name:
clementine
Keywords:
citrus, mandarin, clementine
Clementine Mandarin is a very good al round variety. It is a heavy cropper with medium sized fruit. Fruits in July and will hold on tree for quite a while so pick as needed.
Plant in open sunny position and in good soil, we recommend you fertilise lightly three times per year - very early Spring, early Summer and then a light Autumn application
An oil spray in Winter to clean up any fungicidial problems and a copper spray in early Spring to knock out any thrip, mite or scale if evident is also recommended.
N.B We only grow these in 25 litre easy lift bags andn the plant will have been in that bag 15-18 months and be 1.2-1.4m tall.
