How to Grow Ponkan Mandarin Trees

Mandarin orange trees are easy to grow! In terms of pest control, mandarin orange trees are relatively hardy and can tolerate a range of insect and disease pressures. When planting a mandarin orange tree, choose a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day and has well-draining soil.

The Ponkan Mandarin orange is cold hardy down to low temperatures of about 30 degrees, so they are more suitable for cooler locations than some other sensitive citrus varieties. It can be grown as a potted patio plant, just bring it indoors during the cold months and place it near a sunny window. For best results, apply regular applications of fertilizer, particularly during the growing season. Use a citrus-specific fertilizer and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates.

Plant the Ponkan Mandarin tree to enjoy a bountiful harvest of homegrown citrus the whole family will enjoy!
