The tangerine tree is growing quite well. I hand pollinated most of the first flush of blooms until the summer rains came. When the second flush of blooms came, it was still raining. I was unable to hand pollinate. I don`t expect a lot of fruit to come of that second flush, but some of the fruitlets look like they might form fruit. Other blooms have already fallen to the ground. The fruitlets from that second flush are concentrated on one main branch.
The larger fruits are about the size of a small cherry tomato. I
am surprised that the tree is carying so many little fruits. I hope this does not lead to alternate bearing.
