Satsuma flowering

[lebmung]

Following few techniques and cultural practices I managed to induce a massive flowering this year on my small satsuma 'Okitsu' mandarin. I hope I will stop the fruit drop and have a  mandarin for every 4 leaves.

It is much bigger than a small tree.

At 8a, do you keep it outside for winter?

The tree is 6ft tall in 14 gal container.
Winter gets down to 10F in my microclimate and 0F outside the city, so no I keep it in cold until freezing and then in basement for a couple of months.
They bloom in May and fruit is ready in November before frost. The summer is very hot so they have time to ripen.

lebmung, very nice container tree.  You have done an outstanding job growing that tree.  Congratulations.

Really nice.  My container Owari has always been struggling.  I haven't had good luck with mandarins in containers in general, though the in ground ones I have are doing fantastic.

Please explain your flowering technique... looks interesting!

Thanks for your appreciations.

Kevin: you can read this forum, it has a lot of valuable info, from soil mix, sprays, fertilization, grinding, and so on. Doing all of it, you will have healthy and blooming citrus trees.

Why don't you share your techniques here? I'd be really curious.
