How to grow Mandarin ‘Miho’ in NZ

Plant in full sun in fertile, free-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Choose a warm, sheltered position, ideally protected from strong winds and frost. Water regularly during the growing season, especially while fruit is forming, and mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. In colder areas, plant in a large container and move to a warmer location in winter.
