My Hardiness Zone ?
The USDA hardiness zones offer a guide to varieties that will grow well in certain climates. Each zone corresponds to the minimum winter temperatures experienced in a given area. Make sure that your hardiness zone lies within the zone compatibility range of this variety before ordering.
This item can be grown in colder climates if it's planted in a container and brought indoors during the winter months. If you're planting it outdoors in the ground, we recommend being within the outdoor zone range.

Pollination

This variety is self pollinating.

In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!

How often should I water my tangerine tree? I had one it was growing beautiful leaves i watered it 3 times a week and after 3 months died
I'm getting another one to give it another try
I live in NY
Please help

I only water once or twice a week, every two months give it a little less than a tea spoon of citrus fertilizer. Keep in a sunny window, make sure the pot has drain holes so it doesn't get flooded. It can go outside if it stays above 55 degrees F. If the leaves start to wither even a little bit, it needs water.

I live in zone 7A. And I am looking at pot planting this tangerine tree to stay indoors. Do u recommend this?
MIKE M

This is a great candidate for indoor growing. You can move it outdoors in the summer (gradually exposing it to full sun, of course) and bring it back in when the temperatures drop into the 60s.

Is it come with fruit or a bare plant?
Priya

It doesn’t come with fruit on it but it is not a bare plant it’s leafy and I enjoy watching for new growth
Haven’t had any fruit on this tree yet but that takes a little time. I have other citrus trees they do bear fruitw

Can you grow inside a house during winter?
Robin B.

It has grown quite well inside during the winter and this spring we counted the other day 17 baby tangerines starting to grow. It does very well in a sunny window but we take ours outside once the chance for frost is over! The plants we have gotten from Stark are by far the best ones yet!

Will this tree produce fruit if kept only indoors ?

Hi Dan.. my plant was supp ou se to be a lemon they sent a line. It produced alot of flowers then we had a heat wave. Most flights ou weres drop po ed I got on piece of fruit which ended up being a lime. I list the tree. But I plan on trying again.

Still alive!
It is still alive after a summer in my greenhouse, but no fruit. This bush grows very slowly and it will probably be a long time before it will bear fruit.
