Tango Mandarin Tree

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball but just as deep. Gently place the tree in the center, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.

2. Watering: Water the Tango Mandarin Tree deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Young trees typically require more frequent watering to establish their roots, while mature trees can adapt to drier conditions.

3. Pruning: Prune the tree annually to maintain its shape and encourage better air circulation. Remove any dead or damaged branches and thin out crowded areas to promote healthy growth. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

4. Fertilizing: Feed the Tango Mandarin Tree with a balanced citrus fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer. Follow package instructions to ensure proper application rates and avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm the plant.
