    I live in Lake City Fl and planted a tangerine tree a couple of years ago and every year I get several blooms and I see little tangerines on the blooms when they go away but soon after they fall off I am feeding it per instrutions I got from the person I purchased it from and it is a beautiful tree except it doesn't produce fruit it is about 4 ft tall is it too young to produce fruit or am I not doing something right
    Thanks for any help you can give me
    Linda

    "Several" does not sound like a large number. Could you quantify the number of flowers that are being produced? Perhaps part of the problem is in the small number of flowers to begin with since only 1-2% of flowers go on to produce fruit under normal circumstances.

    Or did you mean to say "several flushes of blooms"?

    I would like to see you going simple! by just given the tree a bit more water. At this time it looks like your fert's are fine. It's growing and producing flowers, a bit more water should also activate the fert's that you have already added. The extra water during bloom should help in producing friutlets. Dont over water, just give it more than in the past.
