It loves heat and humidity and thrives in zones 9-11, but can also be grown in a pot and brought indoors during the winter months. The green, glossy leaves make for a beautiful background against the fragrant flowers in the spring. Packed with vitamin C and fiber, the juicy, sweet fruit also has a deep red-orange flesh that is thin and easy to peel, making it a perfect snack for anyone on the go. Ready for harvesting around November-December, the Dancy Tangerine is self-fertile, but pair it with another tree for a higher yield of fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dancy trees will do best in warmer climates as it is classified as a tropical plant. Zones 8 to 11 are ideal for outdoor planting. However, if you do experience cold winters, plant your Dancy tree in a container and bring it inside for the fall and winter seasons. We recommend planting in Spring through Fall for outdoors since they are sensitive to colder temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelecting a location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a location where your tree is going to get plenty of sunlight, 6-8 hours per day is best. They can tolerate some shade, but thrive in full sun. You’ll want to ensure trees are spaced 8-10 feet apart if planting more than one. These trees also do better in areas with high humidity so you may also need to create humidity for your tree by misting the leaves daily with water. Potted plants do enjoy a daily misting for humidity but placing a tray with rocks filled with water under the plant will feed humidity to the tree as the water evaporates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Directions (in Ground):\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are located in zones 8-11 and your winter temperatures stay consistently warm, your Dancy will do well being planting outside in the ground. Be sure the area has well draining soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root system.\u003cbr\u003e2) Place the tree in the hole and back fill it with your sandy, well-drained, acidic soil. If you have clay soil, try amending it with sand, stone, perlite or fine potting soil.\u003cbr\u003e3) Tamp the soil down as you backfill the hole to cut back on any pockets from forming.\u003cbr\u003e4) After planting, be sure to give your Dancy tree a deep watering for about 5 minutes. Mulching around the tree will help insulate the roots and keep your plant warm in the colder winter months as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Instructions (potted):\u003c\/strong\u003e If your winter temperatures are consistently below 40 degrees, plant your tree in a container that can easily be brought outside in the summer months and inside in the winter. A planter with built-in casters is a good choice so it can easily be moved. Choose a pot slightly larger than what it was shipped in that has plenty of holes in the bottom to allow for drainage. Be sure to plant in well-draining potting soil preferably recommended for acid loving citrus plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) Fill your pot halfway with soil. Remove the tree from its original pot and gently place it in the potting soil.\u003cbr\u003e2) Fill in around the tree with the remainder of the potting soil but be sure not to cover the grafted area of the tree. Leave about an inch from the soil surface to the rim of the pot for easy watering.\u003cbr\u003e3) Lightly pack down the soil. Immediately after planting, give your tree a deep watering until it flows from the holes in the bottom of the pot.\u003cbr\u003e4) Place your tree in an area of your home, preferably a south-facing window, where it is going to get plenty of sunlight. Supplement with a grow light if it will not receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. You may also need to create humidity for your tree by placing the pot on a saucer of pebbles or misting the leaves daily with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination assistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e You can pollinate your indoor trees by hand since most people do not keep a healthy bee population within their home. Simply take a small, dry, fine tipped paint brush and stick it into the center of the bloom. Swirl it around and collect the pollen on the brush. Go to the next bloom and repeat the process until every bloom has been treated. Do this once daily and don’t wash the paintbrush until after the blooms have been pollinated. The bloom will fall off naturally and the fruit will begin to form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering: \u003c\/strong\u003eDancys do not like wet feet. Be sure to give your tree a deep watering so that it can penetrate into the root system. After watering, allow the top 2-3 inches of the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Yellowing and droopy leaves is a common sign of over watering while brown, dry leaves are a sign of under watering. Mulching can help retain the soil moisture and also combat competing grasses\/weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor potted Dancys, stick your index finger into the soil down to about 2 inches. If there is moisture present, hold off on watering until it feels more dry at that depth. When ready to water, stop once you see it escaping the drainage holes at the base of the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization: \u003c\/strong\u003eFeed your Dancy tree during the warmer spring and summer seasons with a citrus specific fertilizer once every six weeks. Espoma Citrus Tone is highly recommended but any organic fertilizer specifically for citrus should suffice. This will help keep your tree on a healthy growth cycle but also replenish the nutrients in the soil. During the fall and winter season, ease back to fertilizing once every 2-3 months. Once the tree has matured a bit and has got a few years on it, you can skip the cold season fertilization. The same fertilizing regimen should be followed for potted Dancy trees as well. Make sure to follow the application instructions written on the fertilizer bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning: \u003c\/strong\u003ePruning can be done at any time of the year for in ground planted Dancys except in the winter. Make 45-degree angle cuts to remove dead or crossing limbs and also to thin out the tree to allow more light to flow between the branches. “Leggy” looking branches may indicate that there is not enough light getting to the tree’s interior. After the tree fruits, remove any dead wood and ventilate the center of the tree. Remove suckers as they form\/grow from the base as they will steal away nutrients from the primary trunk of the tree. Pruning can be done at any time of the year for the potted Dancy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":13940887486516,"sku":"12549","price":128.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":13940887519284,"sku":"12550","price":117.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/8835\/2052\/products\/Dancy_Tangerine_FGT_600x600_9c83d5b7-8cc8-4a9d-a1e9-b2e684156cfb.jpg?v=1762198250"},{"product_id":"lane-late-navel-orange-tree","title":"Lane Late Navel Orange Tree","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\n\tJuicy Oranges All Year Long!\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnjoy your harvest in the warm summer months. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe crisp, refreshing taste of juicy oranges is really appealing in the heat of summer, but most naval orange trees only produce fruit in the winter.

Make sure the soil is well-drained and the area is free from grass, which will compete for water and nutrients. Dig a hole in the ground that is twice as wide as the root ball. Place your tree in the hole, with 1 inch of the root ball sticking out from the top of the soil. Water thoroughly after planting.

Plant in well-draining soil and make sure your container has proper drainage holes. Your tree may become heavy, so adding casters to the bottom of your container can help you transport your tree inside during the winter. Place a layer of rocks on the bottom of your container to aid in drainage, then add your soil and tree, making sure the tree stands vertical and upright.

Keep the area around your tree free from grass and prune off any branches that touch the ground. These measures will prevent ant infestations. You may also spray your tree with insecticidal soap at the beginning of the harvest season.

Make sure the soil is well-drained. Mandarin's do not do well in overly moist soils. Sandy, loamy soils are ideal. Dig a hole in the ground that is twice as wide as the root ball. Place your tree in the hole, with 1 inch of the root ball sticking out from the top of the soil. Water thoroughly after planting. Add a thick layer of mulch around the base of the tree, but keep the mulch 6 inches away from the tree trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Planting Instructions: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlant your tree in a large pot that gives the roots room to grow. Plant in well-draining, loose soil and make sure your container has proper drainage holes. Adding equal parts sand, moss and vermiculite is the best combination for ideal growth. As your tree grows, if roots begin to come out of the drainage holes, you will need to repot your plant in a larger container. You can keep your plant outside during the warmest months, but when temperatures begin to drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll need to begin training the tree to move indoors. Training is easy, simply bring your tree inside for 1 hour on the first day and increase the time inside by 2-3 hours each day. If you move your plant back outside during the summer, you'll need to retrain it in the same way. Always keep your tree in the sunniest location possible, whether indoors or outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water new plants twice a week until established.

Remove all dead and dying limbs or branches that grow from the bottom of the tree. During the first 2 years of growth, remove all the fruit once the blooms have died. This allows the tree the ability to use all the nutrients, and it encourages new growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePests\u003c\/strong\u003e: When watering your tree, spray the leaves and branches with a hose to knock off any larva or eggs. If you see any eggs, larva or worms sprayed off, be sure to put them in a sealed trash bag and throw them away to prevent them from re-inhabiting the tree. You may also spray your tree with insecticidal soap in Spring. If your tree becomes infested, you will need to use an insect oil to rid the tree of pests and prevent diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting: \u003c\/strong\u003eMandarins should be harvested as soon as they being to turn orange.

These trees also do better in areas with high humidity so you may also need to create humidity for your tree by misting the leaves daily with water. Potted plants do enjoy a daily misting for humidity but placing a tray with rocks filled with water under the plant will feed humidity to the tree as the water evaporates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Directions (in Ground):\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are located in zones 8-11 and your winter temperatures stay consistently warm, your mandarin will do well being planting outside in the ground.

Immediately after planting, give your tree a deep watering until it flows from the holes in the bottom of the pot.\u003cbr\u003e4) Place your tree in an area of your home, preferably a south-facing window, where it is going to get plenty of sunlight. Supplement with a grow light if it will not receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day.

Yellowing and droopy leaves is a common sign of over watering while brown, dry leaves are a sign of under watering. Mulching can help retain the soil moisture and also combat competing grasses\/weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor potted mandarins, stick your index finger into the soil down to about 2 inches.

Simply take a small, dry, fine tipped paint brush and stick it into the center of the bloom. Swirl it around and collect the pollen on the brush. Go to the next bloom and repeat the process until every bloom has been treated. The bloom will fall off naturally and the fruit will begin to form.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization: \u003c\/strong\u003eFeed your mandarin tree during the warmer spring and summer seasons with a citrus specific fertilizer once every six weeks. Espoma Citrus Tone is highly recommended but any organic fertilizer specifically for citrus should suffice. This will help keep your tree on a healthy growth cycle but also replenish the nutrients in the soil. During the fall and winter season, ease back to fertilizing once every 2-3 months. Once the tree has matured a bit and has got a few years on it, you can skip the cold season fertilization. The same fertilizing regimen should be followed for potted mandarin trees as well. Make sure to follow the application instructions written on the fertilizer bag.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning: \u003c\/strong\u003ePruning can be done at any time of the year for in ground planted mandarins except in the winter. Make 45-degree angle cuts to remove dead or crossing limbs and also to thin out the tree to allow more light to flow between the branches. “Leggy” looking branches may indicate that there is not enough light getting to the tree’s interior. After the tree fruits, remove any dead wood and ventilate the center of the tree. Remove suckers as they form\/grow from the base as they will steal away nutrients from the primary trunk of the tree. Pruning can be done at any time of the year for the potted mandarin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":43109972377662,"sku":"31139","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":42940335095870,"sku":"30687","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-3 ft.
