A Honey Murcott is a moderately vigorous, bushy tree with glossy green leaves and small white, fragrant flowers followed by medium sized orange fruit that has a yellow-orange shiny, firm skin that is thin and tight. The smooth skin peels easily and the flesh has a distinctive honey-sweet, juicy flavour. It’s a late maturing mandarin producing fruit in August to October. The fruit is highly nutritious, rich in vitamin C, refreshing and makes an excellent snack, or garnish for desserts or salads.

  • 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.
