The evergreen tree can grow up to seven meters high in its natural environment and also tends to grow thickly bushy.

Mandarin trees should be pruned as far as possible in spring. The best time is at the end of the winter season, before the first shoots shoot out. if this is not possible, you can prune the tree directly after flowering. However, you should hurry, because shortly thereafter, the first new buds are formed - and these should better stay on the tree. In particular, the cut before the new shoot stimulates the mandarin tree increasingly for new shoot formation, so that a dense crown can develop. Otherwise, you can remove a cheekily alert shoot or a miserable / dried branch all year round.
