Tangerine trees thrive in full sunlight, so select a location in your garden that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure the soil is well-draining, as tangerine trees do not tolerate waterlogged conditions. If your soil is heavy clay or lacks proper drainage, consider amending it with organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and nutrient content.
Planting the Tree:
Follow these steps to plant your tangerine tree:
Dig a hole twice the size of the tree’s root ball and slightly shallower than the depth at which it was grown in the nursery.
Gently remove the tree from its container, taking care not to damage the roots.
Place the tree in the hole, ensuring it is at the same depth it was previously grown.
Backfill the hole with soil, firming it gently around the base of the tree.
Water the newly planted tree thoroughly to settle the soil and remove air pockets.
