Planting Guide:
- Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny spot where your tangerine tree will receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. Tangerine trees thrive in full sun and warm climates but can also be grown indoors in containers if you're in a cooler region.
- Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining and slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.5). If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with organic matter or sand to improve drainage.
- Plant the Seeds: Plant Tangerine Fruit Seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep in the soil, spacing them 8-12 feet (2.4-3.7 meters) apart for optimal growth.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water regularly but ensure the soil drains well to avoid waterlogging.
- Care for the Tree: Tangerine trees require minimal maintenance once established. Prune away dead or damaged branches and feed the tree with a balanced fertilizer to encourage fruit production.
- Harvesting: Tangerines are ready to harvest when they turn bright orange and are firm to the touch. They typically ripen in late winter to early spring.
