Thrives Guaranteed or We Fix It

• Originally developed in Algeria, the Afourer mandarin is prized for its exceptional sweetness and extended harvest period.
• Dwarf rootstock keeps the tree compact at 2-3 metres, making it perfect for container growing and small spaces.
• Produces fragrant white blossoms in spring followed by bright orange fruit that ripens from late autumn through winter.
• Self-fertile variety that doesn't require cross-pollination, though yields improve with multiple citrus trees nearby.

• Water deeply once or twice weekly in summer, reducing to weekly in winter when growth slows.
• Position in full sun location protected from strong winds and frost in Australian gardens.
• Plant in well-draining citrus potting mix or sandy loam soil with good organic content.
• Feed monthly from spring to autumn with citrus fertiliser, reducing to bi-monthly in winter.
• Prune lightly after harvest to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches.
• Mulch around base but keep away from trunk to prevent collar rot and pest issues.

• Provide full sun for at least 6-8 hours daily for best fruit production and tree health.
• Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry between waterings - increase frequency during hot Australian summers.
• Maintain humidity around potted trees by placing on pebble trays filled with water.
• Protect from frost and strong winds, bringing potted plants under cover during winter in cooler regions.
• Feed monthly during growing season with citrus-specific fertiliser for optimal fruit development.

• Scale insects can appear as small brown bumps on stems and leaves - treat with horticultural oil spray. Regular inspection helps catch infestations early.
• Citrus canker causes raised brown spots on fruit and leaves - remove affected parts immediately and improve air circulation.
• Root rot from overwatering shows as yellowing leaves and stunted growth - reduce watering frequency and ensure excellent drainage.
• Aphids cluster on new growth causing leaf curling - blast off with water or use insecticidal soap spray.
