Full product details
The Sunburst Mandarin Tree is a premium grafted specimen selected for early ripening and exceptional sweetness. This vigorous cultivar produces abundant clusters of seedless, easy-to-peel fruit with bright orange skin and juicy, tender flesh—ideal for fresh eating and gift fruit appeal. Grafted onto disease-resistant rootstock, this tree establishes quickly and reaches productive maturity within 2–3 years. It thrives in warm climates with full sun exposure and well-draining soil, making it perfect for Florida gardens and container cultivation. The compact, spreading canopy fits residential landscapes while delivering consistent yields season after season. Sunburst mandarins are prized for their early harvest window, often ripening by November, and their natural sweetness requires minimal additional care. Whether you're expanding a home orchard or sourcing premium fruit for market, this grafted tree combines reliability, flavor, and ornamental appeal.

Key Features

Seedless or near-seedless fruit; Early season variety; Sweet, juicy flavor; Excellent for fresh eating; Moderate vigor; Attractive tree form; Extended harvest season; Cold-tolerant for a mandarin

Special considerations

Grafted trees (like this one) fruit much earlier than seed-grown trees (2-3 years vs. 7-10 years). More cold-sensitive than standard Mandarin varieties—protect in hard freezes below 28°F. Susceptible to citrus leaf miner and scale insects; monitor regularly. Avoid planting where root barrier cannot prevent competition with other trees.

Growing and Care Instructions

Plant in well-draining soil enriched with compost. Space trees 12-15 feet apart for in-ground planting. In containers, use 25+ gallon pot with drainage holes. Prune to maintain shape and remove crossing branches in late winter. Thin fruit in early summer if excessive set occurs. Trees produce fruit year-round in Florida climate, with peak harvest late fall through spring.

  • Fertilizing

    Apply balanced citrus fertilizer (8-3-9 or similar) monthly during growing season (March-September). In fall, switch to lower nitrogen formula to encourage fruiting. Use micronutrient spray (zinc, magnesium, iron) if yellowing appears. Organic options: compost, fish emulsion, citrus-specific organic blend.

  • Watering

    Water deeply 1-2 times per week during growing season. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter. In containers, check soil moisture regularly—trees in pots dry out faster

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun (6-8 hours minimum daily). Partial shade tolerated but reduces fruit production. South or west-facing location optimal.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
