#ProPlantTips for Care

The Owari Satsuma Mandarin is the hardiest of all the Mandarin trees. It's disease and pest-resistant and cold-tolerant (for brief periods of chill). It can easily grow in a container if you prefer, and handle any pruning necessary to keep it a preferred shape and size.

Plants in containers will not need much water during their dormant winter indoors. Citrus trees will not tolerate standing water, so please don't overwater and ensure their pots have several drainage holes.

For lush plants with dark green leaves and plenty of fruit, use a light hand with fertilizers. For plants that aren't holding on to fruit, consider applying organic citrus fertilizer monthly in spring and again in summer during the growing season.

Feed planted Satsuma Mandarin container plants again right before you take them outside for the summer. Feed Mandarin planted in the ground once again during the dormant season.

• Full Sun
• Low Moisture Needs Once Established
• Somewhat Cold Tolerant
• Insect & Disease Resistant
• Prune Early Spring

Protecting Container Citrus From Cold

If you're growing these tropical trees in the ground in the lowest of their favored growing zones, they need to be planted in a sheltered spot to avoid the worst of the chill. If a spot like that is unavailable then you are better off planting in a large, deep container.

This Citrus variety naturally grows successfully in marginal Citrus areas (USDA zones 8 to 4). But Citrus trees grown in these zones should be grown in containers and brought indoors before the wintertime.

In cooler growing zones, begin slowly acclimating your tree indoors in the early fall or moving them into a protected location, eventually moving your tree inside in bright indirect sun for the winter if the temperatures in your area ever dip below that 40°F range.

In spring, reverse this process and begin acclimating your tree to again be back out in the full sun all summer. This reduces stress and leaf drop.
