Sunburst Tangerine

The Sunburst Tangerine is the perfect citrus tree for the holiday season. It looks beautiful when covered with ripe fruit, and since it ripens from November to January you can spend the holidays gathering fruit from your tree, and immediately enjoying it while you relax. The medium-sized fruits are deep orange-red, easy to peel and with few seeds. The juicy flesh is sweet and delicious, with a beautiful fragrance. If you live in a hot state you can grow this tree outdoors, and in cooler states, simply plant it in a large pot and give it shelter during the winter. Just one tree will give you bowls and bowls of sweet fruit.

• Easy to peel and delicious to eat
• Perfect sweet citrus for children
• Ripe on the tree from November to January
• Easily grown in colder areas, spending winter indoors
• Great tree for container growing

The Sunburst Tangerine is easy to grow in full sun, in any well-drained soil. For container growing, choose a large pot with a drainage hole and fill it with potting soil designed for citrus trees. You can also use a mixture of one-half cactus soil and one-half ordinary houseplant soil. Water well whenever the top inch or two of the soil is dry, don’t leave it standing in a saucer of water, and use citrus fertilizer regularly. Keep your potted tree outdoors in a sunny place from spring to fall, when the night temperatures are above 40 degrees, and keep it inside, in a cool, well-lit place, for the winter months.
