Kishu Mandarin Tree FAQs
How resistant is the Kishu seedless mandarin variety to root rot and other soil-borne diseases?
The Kishu seedless mandarin itself is not inherently resistant or susceptible to root rot and soil-borne diseases; instead, its resistance largely depends on the rootstock onto which it is grafted. Root rot, caused primarily by Phytophthora species, and other soil-borne diseases can severely impact citrus trees if the rootstock is vulnerable.
When purchasing a Kishu seedless mandarin tree, nurseries like TreeSource typically graft the scion onto rootstocks that offer good resistance to root rot and other soil pathogens. Common rootstocks for Kishu mandarins include C-35 citrange, Flying Dragon, and Volkameriana, among others. C-35 citrange is well-known for its strong tolerance to Phytophthora root rot and provides good overall disease resistance, while Flying Dragon offers dwarfing characteristics but somewhat less vigor.
What’s the best season to order Kishu mandarin trees?
The best season to order Kishu mandarin trees is typically late winter to early spring, usually between February and April. During this time, trees are often still dormant or just coming out of dormancy, which reduces transplant shock and helps them establish quickly once planted. Nurseries like TreeSource usually have a good selection of healthy, ready-to-ship trees in this period.
What fertilization schedule would you recommend for seedless Kishu Mandarin trees in a commercial production setting?
This is a question best answered by a certified crop advisor, but here are a few clues. A well-planned fertilization schedule is key to ensuring healthy growth, high yields, and fruit quality. While exact nutrient needs can vary by soil type, climate, and tree age, here’s a general guideline tailored for commercial growers. Start with a soil and leaf nutrient analysis before planting to identify any deficiencies and adjust fertilization accordingly. Typically, citrus trees require nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients like zinc, manganese, and iron.
What are the preferred rootstocks for Kishu mandarins?
Carrizo, C35, and Rich 16-6 trifoliate are the most common rootstocks for Kishu mandarin trees.
What’s the timeframe for a large order of Kishu mandarin trees?
It is best to order at least 12 months in advance to ensure you receive the trees you need. Seedless Kishus are only custom-grown, so plan ahead!
