Mandarin Trees FAQs
Do you offer discounts for large-scale or bulk orders of Mandarin trees?
At TreeSource, we keep pricing simple, so we rarely offer discounts for large quantities. The exception is our citrus liners, which do have quantity discounts as shown in the price list.
Do you provide any guarantees against citrus greening or other citrus-specific diseases for your mandarin trees for sale?
We do.TreeSource cultivates our mandarin trees in CDFA- and USDA-certified greenhouses and screen houses designed to repel the Asian Citrus Psyllid(ACP), which is a vector of Citrus Greening (HLB). These insect resistant structures also keep other insect-vectored diseases at bay, while the bench design keeps all trees off the floor where fungal disease can infect the root systems. We also use only CDFA certified budwood as a part of the California Clean Stock Program.
What are the best rootstock options for mandarin trees that will be grown in the colder, rainier areas of the United States?
Rich 16-6 trifoliate is well-adapted to wet soil conditions and fosters the highest degree of frost resistance available for citrus. This rootstock is sensitive to higher pH soils where there is a presence of high lime incidence.
What is the typical yield per tree for your mandarin oranges in a commercial setting?
Mandarins are a diverse group of selections, so yield will depend on the variety you choose. In general, mandarin trees bear heavy crops, but some varieties will alternate bear if not managed with an annual pruning program.
What are the recommended watering schedules or irrigation systems for large-scale mandarin citrus production? Does the watering requirement vary based on the specific variety?
Mandarin trees are prone to overwatering, so it’s best to establish a consistent watering schedule, typically once a week.. Using a hose timer can help ensure your citrus trees receive the right amount of water.
Young trees need about 10 gallons of water per week during the spring and fall. If there’s sufficient rainfall, you can skip a week. As your treematures, adjust watering to follow the “drip line”—the outer edge of the tree’s canopy—where the active root zone is located.
When the canopy reaches about 3 feet in diameter, use an in-line drip hose with emitters spaced roughly 2 feet apart. Form a 4-foot diameter circle around the tree, centering it within the ring. For mature trees with a 6-foot canopy, expand the watering area by adding a second drip line circle at 7 feet in diameter, keeping the original 4-foot circle in place. Always avoid watering directly at the trunk, especially for older trees.
Potted citrus trees require a different approach. They need more frequent watering, often daily during hot weather.
