Owari Satsuma Mandarin

I bought this Owari by mail order from phoenix perennials in July. It got repotted and sat not doing a thing. It’s finally growing but putting out flowers. I’ll wait to see if there are any leaves before I chop them all off.

I bought mine in May. It initially dropped a bunch of leaves, put out flowers and surprising 1 set! Still only 2 ft tall. Maybe get out your paintbrush on a sunny day. Looks healthy!

Citrus will tend to abort any fruit it can not support so generally does not need thinning of fruit or removal of flowers.

Isaac-1 - Usually yes they will fall off. I want all energy going into producing leaves and branches.
