Since my seedling tangerine may get too tall to bring indoors before it ever fruits, I had to do a little surgery. I t-bud grafted 2 meyer lemon buds and 4 clementine buds. These grafted buds are on the lower portion of the trunk so that that space is fruitful. The upper part of the tree remains seedling tangerine. Hopefully those upper branches will start bearing asap. If not, I am attempting to air layer an upper branch so that I can propagate the seedling from node 61 and above. Hopefully the air layer will be ready for potting up around mid june.
