Sweet Tangerine at Backyard – Food 26

We have grown two Tangerine trees in our backyard. Luckily one grow well, and provides us with fresh fruit every year.



Image 1- Tangerine fruit on the branches

Another tree died at very young age, about 3 years old when it starts to produce “little” fruit. It died due to diseases; we guessed caused by fungi diseases several years ago.

Many of our neighbors have Tangerine, they grow the fruit either in front yards or backyards

Tangerine is seasonal fruit, start to ripe from October to early January in our neighborhood, and even in our state, Louisiana.

In case of our Tangerine, we may pick the fruit about this time or second week of October.

Then, the fruit starts to fall down one by one in late November or early December when temperature dropping.

Fruit may not reach January of next year. We are lucky enough if we found one or two fruit on branches in the cold month.

Unfortunately, we have at least two critters as competitors to consume our fruit, they are:

- raccoon
- and squirrels

Finally, have you tasted Tangerine?

  4. It is very rewarding to grow fruits, citrus fruits, or anything that gives us that personal satisfaction for our work.
    Happy week.
    Best regards.

  14. Your Tangerine tree looks so amazing and I loved your adorable photo of the raccoon. I really hope he isn't able to get any of your fruit this year!

  16. Hello :=)
    The orchard at the back of my house has many tangerine trees growing there, and I have been eating lots of tangerines. I love the photo of the cheeky Racoon looking over the fence who steals your fruit. Naughty Racoons do not live in Portugal, and I have never seen a squirrel eating Tangerines. Tangerines are nice to eat at Christmas. I always had one or two in my Christmas stocking when I was a child.:=)
    I hope you still have some left by Christmas.

  17. Hello,
    It is wonderful to have this tasty fruit tree in your yard. Cute shot of the racoon peeking over the fence. I hope the rascal does not eat all your fruit. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.

  18. ...raccoons are critters that I rarely see here and tangerines I only see in the store.

  19. Tangerines are one of my favorite fruits. I didn't know squirrels and raccoons eat citrus.

  20. I love them and we enjoy citrus here in Florida too. But I think the raccoon has first dibs! heehee!
