tangerines

There are lots of tangerines on the tree maybe they'll be ripe before the end of the year.

Last year I almost killed this plant by leaving it in exposed sun all summer, the heat was too much for this tangerine in a small black pot, and all the fruit dried up before it even got bigger than a golfball.

this year I kept it under the partial shade of an Elm, where it only got forect sun late in the afternoon, and got filtered sun all day, it seems to have done better (maybe the fact that it was a mild summer also helped). I've now moved it into the direct sun since the weather has cooled.
