Sunburst tangerines are a small to medium-sized varietal, averaging 6 to 7 centimeters in diameter, and have an oblate shape with a flattened top and bottom and broad, curved center. Prominent rind furrows and creases surround the stem, and the tangerine's rind is smooth, thin, and easy to peel. The dark orange-red rind is also covered in tiny oil glands, giving the variety a pebbled, pocked, and glossy appearance. Underneath the surface, there is little to no white pith, and the saturated orange flesh is divided into 11 to 14 segments by thin white membranes. Sunburst tangerines have a tender, aqueous, and succulent consistency, and the pulpy flesh is comprised of tiny vesicles filled with juice. Depending on the tree's pollination during cultivation, there can also be anywhere from 1 to 20 ivory oval seeds embedded within the flesh. Sunburst tangerines are aromatic and should have a taut, brightly colored rind and feel heavy for their size when ripe. The tangerines contain high sugar and acidity levels, creating a balan
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Sunburst Tangerine Tree can be plant in containers or into the ground if you are in zone 8-10. If planting on containers, the best soil to use is well drained such as cactus soil. They don't like wet feet and can cause root rot. Sunlight is crucial to kaffir lime trees, especially because it is a tropical plant. In most areas of the United States, you want to maximize sunlight with full sun exposure. If you are planting indoors, make sure that it has full sun next to the window, but we would also recommend having a grow light.
Sunburst Tangerine Tree does best when it has at least six hours of sunlight a day. If the temperature is consistently above 90° especially for younger trees, there may be some wilting of the leaves. This wilting will reverse however and at this point, it would be advantageous to keep your tree by elementary and partial shade.
Sunburst Tangerine Treewill need both macro and micronutrients, just like a human. The macronutrients that all plants need are Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. You have likely seen fertilizers and soil which state three numbers together, this is the N – P – K system which shows the concentration and relative amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium respectively. They need high nitrogen so use a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen.
