Growing Dwarf Citrus Trees In Containers - Kishu Mandarin

[@queenme02]

I was going back and forth on buying a lemon and kumquat plant. in the past I've killed off my outdoor garden. but I moved this yr and a south facing sunroom and wanted to plant something. So I bought a four foot lemon and two small kumquat trees a month later they are thriving. thanks for the videos

I love kumquats..not many familiar with that fruit.

[@orkids5551]

Wow.. your tree so healthy & full of fruits of 2 yrs.. I got 5 diff citrus plants online & it’s now 4yrs old Kishu & only 2 fruits last year.. I’ll follow all your advices & see this year.. All of them are in pots .. biggest pot from HD.. Thank you so much for all your generous tutorials.. More blessings to you.

[@healanimatthews1140]

Wow i never seen anyone on youtube have a before and after video of their plants. Magnificent content my friend.

That's such a cute mandarin!!! I want one lol... Cheers mate, I enjoyed the video :)

Can get in Oz - called 'sugar bubba' from citrus men for marketing but it's kishu

We are in Palm Springs, so gardening is a challenge. I've moved almost my entire garden to the east side of our back yard, from the west side that was in ground. The garden is now all in pots. Right now I am harvesting one cherry tomato plant. Our lemon tree is flowering, and producing fruit, the orange tree is not, yet. The grape vine has one small new leaf growing. The herbs are doing well. Pineapple is doing well. We've had trouble with our fig tree last summer, but our kumquat tree, which is taller than the house in the ground is producing. We got a great harvest of olives from our tree which was planted out front when the house was built in 1962. I cured them, and they are in the fridge. We have date palms, and they have never cross pollinated, male /female. If you have date palms, I'd love to see a video on them.

[@jaquelincarrillo6885]

These Kishus are amazing. My neighbor has a tree .... They are addicting. This video is great, thank you. I finally was able to find 2 online.

[@letnaturespeak6155]

Yes I tried. It's really appealing to see the orange magical color.. Wow. Beauty of the mother nature..

[@clipsbycarra]

We were actually lucky to have bought a seedling of this in Philippines which has tropical climate. I learned much from this vid, & we are becoming really excited growing it after transplanting yesterday! :))

[@lindahipple4817]

hello California Gardener, the dwarf fruit trees are easier to manage if you're living in a residential area. Pest control, regular pruning and fertilizing, dwarf trees are best. I like the Key Limes as well as the mandrine, great video as always! thankyou very much.

[@ayandas7752]

watched lot of ur videos and have to say it's unbelievable how u would have anticipated things about the present in the past that y recorded so many videos. the patience you are showing is similar to what nature shows with the world. kudos.

[@JebGardener]

Have you considered covering the tree with something on cold nights? Or would that be too much of a hassle?

[@carrolltrent9223]

Hello, I received a dwarf Meyers tree for mothers day last year and I have watched over it very carefully because we here in Las Vegas do get down to freezing temperatures. We have warmed up lately and it is doing very well and producing many flowers. It's in a pretty big pot so I hope it does well this year. It has grown some but I may nred to trim some of the longer branches in order to stimulate more growth. Thank you for your videos...they are very educational and I have learned a lot from you. Ct.

[@VOTE4TAJ]

Carroll Trent I don't think you need to worry about LV cold for a citrus tree. My sister has one for many years and was perfect until it stop producing. It's now been chopped. On a smaller tree in LV, I did apply lots of wood chips and hope it will produce. I (if Trump admin did allow me to travel) will be visiting later in spring.

[@pameliadobson4349]

I'm trying to grow dwarf citrus trees on my patio. This was very helpful. Thanks so very much!

[@cathycrowder2226]

I have a container Honey Mandarin that I have been growing for 2 years. Very sweet and easy to peel but not seedless. Thanks for the tips on soil ph. I think I need to adjust it a bit to get more fruit.

[@joyofgrowing]

My Kishu Mandarin is doing wonders thank you so much for the idea of it. Really love this lunch box fruit for the kiddos.

[@SeedToPantrySchool]

Great video! I hadn't heard of dwarf citrus until now, but now i need to get myself one!

[@naturelover8585]

Sir I love ur garden so MH ....just love to watch it again n again.....it's inspiring me to grow veggies......

[@chinatownboy7482]

Amazing that this video covers the course of two years. Thank you.

[@jpicking]

i got this citrus tree in a pot planted in feb right now there is a ton of flowers on it. i am in sacramento ca seems to be doing very well.

[@jedicrypto]

I see your using the self-watering container in the first part of the video minus the reservoir part on bottom. I tried those and they didn't work that great. The water reservoir is too small and you end up filling it up almost daily. This was another great video, thank you sir!

[@milagroperez6053]

I just started following I love the video thank you

[@laketuna]

I got a Satsuma mandarin tree (only one I could find around me) for my backyard in Southern California. It's my first tree that I have ever purchased. Should I plant it in the ground or in the pot for a good yield? I want to keep the size manageable by myself without any special tools. Tag says it grows up to 10 feet.

[@sueneishii5390]

I am attempting growing dwarf citrus this year! Thank you for this video!

[@ayodhyagardening6015]

Wow, great , new subs, 👏, love from India

[@GraftingTactick]

This is so gorgeous dwarf mandarin tree. I'd love to have this variety in the backyard. Thank for sharing👌🍃🌿🌲🌱☘✅

[@Chainyanker007]

My 15 yr old 6’ wide x 5’ tall Kishu produces 300+ fruits by about Dec. every year. It is growing in the ground. The issue is the skin is very soft so if you want to give a bunch of fruit away you need to clip each fruit stem with long garden scissors or pruner, just plucking them tears off the top part of the skin which exposes the flesh, not good. I fertilize three times a year and water about once a week, extra watering in a heat wave. I live in Orange County, Calif. Fruit is delicious and adults and kids love them for ease of peeling.

[@C3Voyage]

Love it! I may add a couple citrus to our greenhouse. Well made video!

[@mellymoom8155]

congratulations!! your nearly at a well deserved 100k subscribers!! I love to watch your videos and you've helped me to grow a lot!

I didn't realize peat moss makes soil more acidic - thanks for the tip!

[@starshinesoldier]

I cannot find the Kishu Mandarin anyways near me in Walnut, CA. I was wondering if the Dancy Mandarin is also suited to grow in a container? Or if anyone can recommend a Nursery to me that does sell Kishu Mandarin trees?

[@petrpalecka5932]

Nice tree. It reminds me of Citrus tangerina and Citrus deliciosa shrubs I grow. The fruits are small in size, but with a very deep scent. I can truly tell the difference between what I grow at home and what I buy at the store.

[@baomichael]

Beautiful are they super sweet with little tartness

[@441rider]

My dwarf Kishu is really bushy but has been dormant since getting bigger pot last year. I think the roots are working overtime preventing budding. ?

[@TheMassiel100]

This is a great quality video. Thanks for showing the timelapse.

[@MontereyPhoto]

Is this tree a dwarf grafted to flying dragon rootstock or is it a semi-dwarf? Beautiful tree!

[@shasha56789]

Love all of your videos! I have put in a dwarf peach/nectarine hybrid tree in a big pot just under a Month ago and I'm in Australia so will have to see how I go!!!

[@greenhousefun3235]

where did get a draw peach tree.

[@shasha56789]

tameka moseleyhartley bunnings have them. It's a hybrid so it grows both peaches and nectarines on the one tree

[@janstoll8881]

Great video! I bought one about a month ago that is supposed to be ready to fruit. I guess I will find out in the spring. Does it need a chill period? What temperature? It is in a container as I live in zone 5. Thanks

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Mandarins ate evergreens, they don't need chill hours. Enjoy growing it!

[@saviordragon777]

Thanks for the advice on the soil I have dwarf citrus tree but I didn't know about the low ph

[@oftin_wong]

It's not correct, citrus needs 5.5-6.5 ph and that is on the acidic side of neutral

[@derickgabriel-abdulebrahim2266]

Hi can you please tell me where I can purchase the dwarf variety of citrus trees. I have been looking to purchase for some time now but cannot find any.

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Home Depot and Lowes have a lot of dwarf citrus!

[@ltlbnsgarden]

Love how detailed you are! And those fruit look very tasty! TFS😊

[@lambertguimond2227]

Thanks for making this video, quite helpful! I'm in a cold climate and can only dream of getting the same results, but I'm gonna give it a try. Keep doing these vids, they're motivating & educational... I just love that.

[@azuracat4772]

Since its in a pot you could probably grow them indoors with a grow light

Hello. I am getting a cara cara tree next week. It is a 1-2ft tree. I am a beginner. How do i prepare my tree for leafminers before i repot?

You dont need to. If you see leafminers then control it with this spray

[@advitaandabhangscuteworld2969]

I have a lime tree grown from seed.. it has been 4 years.. no flowers no fruits instead it has many thorns.. how long does it take to fruit ?

[@aidancampos5706]

Ankita Shende You will probably not get perfect limes from that tree, citrus are grafted and most are seedless, so whenever there are seeds those are either hybridized from another tree or from the rootstock of the plant, you may not even get edible fruit. To answer though it can take up to 10 years for a citrus tree to fruit from germination to blossoming

[@advitaandabhangscuteworld2969]

Zelos Gaming thank you.. 🙂

[@SimpleGardening]

Hi, I like the way you grow plants and explain the procedure with lot of dedication. Your videos had encouraged me to grow few veggies on my balcony and I am successful. I had seen all your videos from you tube as well as your blog (videos since 2009 odd) they are very educative. Thank for sharing your work and knowledge. LOL I have a doubt.... why don't you ever show up your self in front of camera?

[@hiteshshivdasani9087]

Where did you purchase the grafted Kishu Mandarin from? I am located in Mumbai, India.

[@crissandoval8529]

Thank you for your very instructional videos. I have not had good luck growing citrus in containers, I am in Santa Barbara, CA. I use the citrus soil from home depot. Would you please share your potting soil, fertilization methods, and watering schedule? I will just try copying everything you do. Also, your short videos, with only the essential information, are great because it gives me more time to watch other videos and learn. Thank you!

[@soumya4070]

Sir how do I fix the problem of my orange plant in pot. I got the plant from nursery and transferred to big pot. It’s leaf are falling, the tree is not growing. I live in Indiana state and it’s still cold here. It’s very cloudy outside. I also added the organic fertilizer and some micronutrients and check water level regularly.

[@ClaraM2525]

Very helpful and informative video! I'm going to try this!

[@nancywishard6297]

Hi from North San Diego county! I love all your videos on growing veggies and fruit trees. I was wondering if this Kishu is the type of Mandarin that is sold in the stores as "cuties"? We planted a dwarf Satsuma mandarin in our raised border garden bed last spring but the fruits are larger and not as sweet as I had hoped. Perhaps we will need to try a Kishu to get these sweet, tiny fruits!

[@NancyEly]

I believe that the “Cuties” are actually the Clementine variety - a regular sized plant, not dwarf.

[@FknNefFy]

I learned a lot here. I’ve had a pomelo tree for two years and it’s struggling I think it’s because I only get a few hours of sunlight and because I’ve never reported it when I first got it I didn’t know I supposed to. I put it in a very sunny spot and I’ve been fertilizing it but nothing but white fly battles once in a while

[@OmgKittys78]

My kids would totally love this. The fruits are so cute! I bought a lemon tree a couple of years ago and it's not doing to well. I think the dwarf trees are better for the urban gardener's. I would love one, if I could find one in my area.

[@gabepettinicchio7454]

I have tons of flowers on a young 2' Dancy. Do you recommend that I thin either the flowers or the fruit for the first few years, as to direct more energy to the growth of the tree? Thank you!

My citrusses jus dont want to flower. Some are just to jong, but I have some that should be able to flower. At what conditions do they flower normaly. (Dutch weather is not ideal for citrusses. I heard they flower in spring. Would I place them outside in spring, they would definitely die by frost)

question, if they dont have seeds are they GMO?

First of all, thanks for the making these great videos. I'm curious as to what potting mix you used that the plant flourished like that. I've planted many citrus plants in pots in a mix of 3 parts regular garden soil, 2 parts cocopeat and 2 parts composted manure but they aren't growing well. Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong?

[@baroofy6179]

I had made the same mistake. Using "Garden" soil for potted plants is apparently a bad idea since it hold a lot less moisture and often compacts into a harder soil. I switched to "Potting soil" for all my potted plants and I am having much better results.

[@JannatJannat56]
