Here’s a walk through our backyard showing some different varieties of mandarins and oranges we grow. Along the way I give some tips about the varieties and how I get the best out of my trees such as fertilisers I use, pest protection, and general growing.
I have also written a blog post about growing oranges for more info visit here http://www.selfsufficientme.com/blog/view/449/oranges_for_the_backyard___varieties__selection____growing

I have one tango tree , it seem like it was going to produce but didn't, can you tell mel what happen, it bud out like your but fell off and no tango
Blood oranges need cool nights not freezing 32f (0c) to turn red
Thanks for the tour mate, very enjoyable to watch. Myself and ma father are orange connoisseurs: we scour the neighborhood sampling the tastiest varieties. Pretty hard to go past a seedless Valencia.
Cheers Arj.
Hello
I love u accient
Your mandarin tree is beautiful. ! I'm growing a gold nugget that has thorns. It's on its third year. When I bought I it it had delicious mandarins. But it hasn't flower since. It has some thorny branches and some that are thornless I read that the mandarines are thornless. What do you think? Should I remove it? Prune it? Please I need an opinion
we inthe Caribbean can grow citrus all year round guy
CARN THE BLUES!!!
Awesome video love from India <3
gorgeous orchard. Jealous! When we get a house I was thinking we could get some apple trees. I don't think my climate could grow oranges.
Hello, nice garden. Which rootstock do you use for your clay soil?
Your oranges and mandarines are juicy soooo succulent…. How old were they when they first flowered? I planted 5 grafted orange trees but 4 turned to be lemons, which after4 yrs no fruits yet. The only orange tree flowered last spring and have very tiny fruits on them. Could you please advise on how to care and maintain healthy fruit trees including peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots?
Do you make a living growing mandarines and oranges? Great video. I thought Mandarines grew in India and China, is there a big citrus industry in Aussie and do you have problems with Grasshoppers swarming? Thank you.
Great video. Australia reminds me a lot of Southern California. Love citrus trees
The problem with Blood Orange trees is that they need a certain amount of high heat, direct sun hours and a certain amount of cold chill hours. That's what will really give the flesh that red color. I'm not sure if it will get quite as much as it needs in your area.
Im in Queensland too & the Imperial mandarin has really won me over. It's been my toughest citrus. It's targeted less by citrus leaf miner and hasn't experienced any mineral deficiencies. It's natural shape is quite formal too.
You should start a seed company Mark. You would definitely have enough seeds!
Blood orange do better in a cold environment, the frost helps bring the red out..ive been told
wow what ur trees are amazing
Sir, I admire your backyard garden. You have a green thumb. Which state do you live? Do you know which state has the best clime for growing vegetable and fruit tree?
Can anyone tell me why there are many branches on my mandarin trees that have tiny leaves? Those branches don't produce fruit. The rest of the branches have normal sized leave and they produce a lot of fruit. My trees are 3 years old.
If you had a major Y in the tree 3 feet up and one was dominant and straight and the other was too big and going off to the side. Would you cut it so as to grow the tree? I want the tree bigger and believe the side branch will break anyway.
the best…
