Mandarin (Citrus reticulata 'Changsha') - 2-liter pot

The 'Changsha' mandarin is a hardy citrus fruit that can withstand temperatures down to -15ºC. This makes it an excellent choice for cultivation in the Netherlands and Belgium. This self-pollinating mandarin tree reaches a height of 2-3 meters in the ground, but also thrives in pots, where it remains smaller. The sweet fruits ripen between September and December.

This citrus tree likes full sun and needs well-drained soil, as it does not tolerate wet feet.

Tips and care:

• Planting: Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted year-round. It's best to plant in the fall, when the soil is still warm and moist, allowing the trees to take root well. Plants planted in the fall have a more developed root system than those planted in the spring.
• Organic/non-organic: This plant material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.
• Note: Citrus plants can sometimes develop slightly yellowish leaves in winter. This is because they shouldn't be fed during this period. Otherwise, they would grow too vigorously, and the new growth would be at increased risk of freezing. Feed the plant again in spring, and it will turn a beautiful green again.
