Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Requires full sun—at least 6 hours of direct light daily to promote healthy growth and a strong fruit set.

• Watering: Water consistently, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Avoid soggy roots by ensuring good drainage.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil with added organic matter. Sandy or loamy soils typical of South Florida are ideal when amended with compost.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a citrus-specific fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during the growing season (spring through fall), including micronutrients like magnesium and iron.

• Growth Habit: Naturally compact and rounded. In a 5-gallon pot, trees are typically 2–3 feet tall, but can eventually reach 8–10 feet when planted in-ground or upsized to a larger container.

• Temperature: Best for USDA Zones 9B–11. Thrives in South Florida’s mild winters and warm, sunny climate. Protect from freezing temperatures.

• Maintenance: Low. Prune lightly to shape after harvest and remove any suckers. Keep mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fruit Notes: Produces small, round, seedless tangerines with loose, thin skin and vibrant orange flesh. Ripens in late fall to early winter, making it a seasonal favorite during the holidays.
