Our Citrus Mandarin Tree in a 5L pot is carefully cultivated to deliver both ornamental beauty and practical homegrown fruit production. Each tree is grown from premium citrus stock by expert horticulturists, ensuring robust health, abundant blossoms, and consistent fruiting.
The tree is presented in a 5-litre nursery pot made from durable, recyclable plastic, designed to promote healthy root development. This pot size is ideal for young citrus trees, offering ample room for growth while keeping the plant easy to move and position in your chosen spot. The soil used is a specially formulated citrus compost blend, enriched with organic matter and essential nutrients to encourage strong root systems, lush green foliage, and an extended flowering and fruiting period.
The foliage is evergreen, meaning your tree will provide year-round greenery. In spring and summer, it produces delicate white blossoms with a sweet, intoxicating fragrance that fills the air. These blossoms develop into vibrant orange mandarins with a deliciously sweet and tangy flavour. Depending on care and climate, fruiting can occur up to twice a year, making it a rewarding addition to any home or garden.
Citrus mandarin trees are well-suited to container growing, which makes them perfect for patios, balconies, conservatories, or sunny windowsills. They prefer a bright, sheltered position with good airflow and benefit from regular watering and feeding with citrus-specific fertiliser. While they can tolerate cooler UK conditions, they should be protected from frost in winter by bringing them indoors or covering them in colder weather.
This plant is an excellent choice for eco-conscious gardeners, as it allows you to grow your own fresh, pesticide-free fruit at home, reducing food miles and packaging waste. Each tree is selected for its healthy structure and potential to fruit, meaning you can enjoy the satisfaction of nurturing it from blossom to harvest.
The Citrus Mandarin Tree also makes an outstanding gift. Whether for a birthday, housewarming, wedding, or festive celebration, it offers a unique, lasting, and fruitful present that continues to give year after year. Every tree is packaged with care to ensure it arrives in perfect condition, ready to settle into its new home.
With its combination of lush foliage, fragrant flowers, and sweet, homegrown fruit, this mandarin tree is more than just a plant — it’s a sensory experience and a slice of the Mediterranean for your space.
The Citrus Mandarin Tree in a 5L pot stands approximately 60–80cm tall on delivery, depending on seasonal growth. The 5-litre pot measures around 23cm in diameter, offering ample root space for healthy development while remaining compact enough for easy placement on patios, balconies, or indoor spaces.
The tree’s upright yet compact habit makes it suitable for small gardens or limited spaces, while still producing a generous display of flowers and fruit. Mature trees can eventually reach heights of 1.5–2 metres when grown in a container, though they can be pruned to maintain a smaller size.
Due to the natural variation in plant growth and the season, exact dimensions and fruiting stage may vary, ensuring that each tree is unique. All measurements are approximate, and with proper care, your tree will grow steadily, rewarding you with beautiful foliage, fragrant blossoms, and delicious mandarins year after year.
