FAQs

Are these “bonsai” tangerine seeds?

No. “Bonsai” is a growing and training method, not a seed type. These are standard Tangerine seeds; with pruning and root/branch training you can shape the tree into a bonsai style if desired.

Will trees grown from seed be true to type?

Seed-grown citrus can vary. Flavor, fruit size, and timing may differ from the parent. For exact clones, use grafted trees; for the fun of growing from seed, variability is normal.

How long until a seed-grown tangerine fruits?

Typically 3–5+ years with good light, warmth, and nutrition. Container culture can extend the timeline; consistent care helps.

Do I need cold stratification?

No. Tangerine prefers warmth for germination. A 12–24 hour pre-soak and steady bottom heat often improve results.

Can I grow tangerine indoors?

Yes. Use a well-draining citrus mix, a bright south-facing window (or grow lights), and rotate the pot for even growth. Move outdoors gradually in warm seasons; protect from frost.
