Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

I planted Pixie and PAGE TANGERINE in the ground from a 5 gallon container. I followed your teaching and the trees are growing new leaves with flowering. Would I get fruit the first year or second year?
tq for great tips. i love it
Bone meal makes a huge diff in citrus too! I found it multiplied amazingly fruit on loquat & made them sweeter!
My mandarin tree put out new growth but seems to droop like it needs water. I’m afraid to over water it but it’s starting to get into 90 degree Fahrenheit where I live. Should I just water it? I also fertilized it but I don’t remember when.. should I also fertilize it?
Yes
This was really helpful! Thank you for posting!!!

Thanks Mark! Any tips on making sour citus sweeter???

Hey @Self Sufficient Me, have you had any problems with fires around your area?
Why do victory amour mandarins taste bad?
Thanks for the video* hey guys planting my first fruit tree tomorrow, at a school in Cape Town 😀 thanks again for the info and vid mr mark***
Excellent explanation.
All your videos are great with loads of useful information.
Thanks a lot and please keep them coming.
I recycle my grass clippings plus I use Sugar cane mulch to have at least a 120mm bed of mulch. It's convenient way to feed the tree because I spread the citrus fertilisers over it and it releases slowly as I water.
Also watering is less frequent because as you know, the bottom of the mulch stay moist for a very long time. The mulch also supplies a nice soft landing for any fruit that drops.
My Washington Navel recently died, I think someone damaged it near the base with a lawn mower. In its last season, it produced a huge amount of fruit, mostly large and many of the fruit this time had quite a number of seeds. I think it knew it was dying and did its best to have offspring.
It was grafted onto Trifoliata root stock and was about 30 years old.
I have now bought a baby one in replacement but I think I will keep it in a large pot.
You are so lucky it rains where you live
2 years ago my mandarin tree made 500-600 fruit but we could not get all the fruit, this year it made roughly 60 fruit maybe more. The outer skin is easy to peel, the fruits can be very large for a mandarin but normally average sized
Well i will give it a crack..cheers
Hello plant people. What kind of fruit can I grow inside?
