Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball but just as deep. Gently place the tree in the center, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eWater the Tango Mandarin Tree deeply, allowing the soil to dry 2\" down before watering again slightly between waterings. Young trees typically require more frequent watering to establish their roots, while mature trees can adapt to drier conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrune the tree annually to maintain its shape and encourage better air circulation. Remove any dead or damaged branches and thin out crowded areas to promote healthy growth. Pruning is best done just after harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed the Tango Mandarin Tree with a balanced citrus fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer. Follow package instructions to ensure proper application rates and avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Container Growth: \u003c\/strong\u003eChoose a container that is 1-2\" wider in diameter than the rootball. Repot every two years into a larger container. Avoid planting in a too large container, as this can affect soil drainage and cause root rot. Clay is preferred but plastic is acceptable; avoid self watering containers. Use a citrus soil with a 1:1 ratio of added perlite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater until soil comes out of the drainage holes and allow the top 2\" of soil to dry out before watering again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the growing season, place the tree in a sunny location outdoors or in front of a window. In very hot climates, provide afternoon shade when temperatures outdoors exceed 90°F. In fall, when temperatures drop to 50°F, move plants indoors in a sunny window that provides 5-6 hours direct sun. In northern climates or indoor locations with poor lighting, a full spectrum grow light, on for 14-16 hours and off for at least 8 hours, is essential to keeping plants healthy through the winter. Stop fertilizing in winter. Move plants back outdoors in spring when temperatures are consistently above 50°F at night.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":42833765007422,"sku":"31148","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/8835\/2052\/files\/Tamgo-mandarin-2.jpg?v=1779758576","url":"https:\/\/checkout.fast-growing-trees.com\/products\/tango-mandarin-tree","provider":"FastGrowingTrees.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
