Tango mandarins require a full sun location with at least 8 hours of direct sunlight. If possible select a location with morning sun. Mandarins do best in well drained soils. This tree does not tolerate standing in water. If poor drainage is suspected elevate your planting with either a mound or raised bed. Mulching helps retain moisture and helps to stabilize the soil temperature. Mandarin trees can easily be kept 7' - 10' with regular pruning, so they make an excellent container plant. The white blossoms are fragrant.
