A dwarf Imperial Mandarin is a robust tree that gives a vigorous amount of mandarins that ripen early in the season. It produces fragrant creamy-white flowers followed by medium-sized orange fruit. The skin is easy to peel, and the flesh is very juicy and delightfully strong-scented. The dwarf variety is ideal to grow in tubs, espaliered, for small or Mediterranean style gardens, courtyards or balcony areas if placed in a warm sunny position. It’s perfect on its own as a healthy snack, in lunchboxes, or in desserts.
- Protect from strong winds especially during flowering or while fruit is forming.

| Planting Advice | Plant in a sunny, open position in well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root-ball. Take out the plant from the container and place the plant into the hole so that the soil level is the same as the surrounding ground. Fill in the hole firmly and water it well even if the soil is moist. To keep the tree free of grass and weeds, and to retain moisture, remember to mulch well but keep mulch away from the tree trunk to avoid collar rot. |

| Watering needs | Water regularly during warmer months, when buds appear, it starts flowering or when fruit is forming. Water container specimens every three to four days, and more often in hot weather. Do not water the trunk. |
| Pruning Advice | Prune in late spring with pruning shears to shape the tree and to remove any dying, low hanging branches or leaves from the tree. Take off any suckers at the base of the trunk and on branches to encourage new growth. |
