How to Care

Find a sunny spot with well-drained soil.

Newly planted citrus trees should be watered deeply about 2 times per week during establishment. After establishment, the Arctic Frost Satsuma Mandarin tree should be watered when the soil is dry. Citrus trees are drought tolerant, but their leaves love humidity. Gardeners in dry climates should water over the leaves for the best results. Indoor gardeners should mist the leaves daily in winter to ensure this plant has the proper levels of humidity to thrive.

Feed citrus trees with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and late summer. Potted orange trees should be fed 3 to 4 times per year. Feed citrus trees that are planted in containers at the end of winter, early summer, and again in fall. Another excellent option for feeding citrus is Espoma Citrus-Tone. This organic formula was created specifically for citrus plants. Follow the directions on the bag.

The Arctic Frost Satsuma tree can be grown in zone 8, 9, 10, and 11 in the ground. It can be grown in cooler zones as a patio plant or even indoors (if you simulate the right conditions). Move this dwarf orange tree indoors when temperatures start to dip below 40 degrees.

Prune this tree any time of year.
