Tangelo Care

Water young tangelo trees weekly during the hot dry summers, when the soil is dry, to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. As the tree matures, the roots reach beyond the drip line and the tree gradually becomes more drought resistant. However, never let the soil become completely dry; citrus trees require consistent moisture.

Early spring (or late winter) is also a good time to prune out any diseased, damaged or problematic branches to improve air circulation and general health. Remove any suckers at the base as well.

Feed tangelo trees as soon as new growth appears on the tree with a fertilizer specifically made for citrus trees for optimal production and general tangelo tree care. Fertilize tangelo trees in April, June and August with a fertilizer formulated for citrus trees. Generally, apply fertilizer immediately after watering.

Full sun, partial shade.

An ideal soil would be made up of 45% minerals (sand, clay, silt), 5 % organic (plant and animal) material, 25% air and 25% water. The mineral portion would be loam (20 – 30% clay, 30 – 50% silt and 30 – 50% sand).

These plants prefer a temperature range of 55-65°F at night and 70-80°F during the day. They like well-draining soil that's fairly rich in organic matter. If you're transplanting into containers, place some drainage material such as gravel in the bottom of the pot.

The plants do well in a container filled with a potting mix that drains quickly.
