Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)
Aloha Mark! I have a giant tangerine tree in Hawaii (rained 254 days in 2018, 360' elevation). This year, the fruit bounty is incredible because my friend suggested that I pressure wash the tree trunk/branches. This made a HUGE difference in production. I believe the Lichens and Moss that took over the tree were sucking life out of her. After pressure washing (1,600 psi Ryobi) the trunk and branches, this tree produced way more than 2018. This is useful info on East side of Big Island, Hawaii. Mahalo, -Matthew
Thank you for allowing some birds and wildlife to enjoy some of the fruit. Our Gardens are fantastic when they work with nature and not against it. You sir are awesome in many ways.
Citrus trees are really something to look at when they're bearing fruit. Love it!
I am in Arizona and here, sun=heat and burning. You need to have a tree West of it in order to give it afternoon and shade and also some wind protection. You have to do what is appropriate for your area.
Thanks for this video!
Finally found someone that can explain clearly, briefly and with a sense of humour!
I am now a subscriber! :)
To have Mandarins growing in my yard. Just amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
Great video Mark. Very jealous that you can grow citrus trees, here in zone 3 (Canada) I'm lucky to grow apple trees at best. I'll have to move to Oz someday.
Happy to have you here Guy but you do live in a beautiful country though! Cheers :)
I have such an addiction for mandarins! 🍊🍊🍊 So much that I told my husband I want a mandarin orchard.
Thanks so much for this video
G'day Mark, your pruning video and this "ton of mandrines" are excellent and if you have friends with cattle the spoiled fruit they'll love! All fruit trees will benifit from the care you've covered. Wish I could grow citrus, too cold here. God bless.👍😎

Mark, I would love to see more harvest videos of all the veggies, fruits, etc. that you come across throughout your time in the garden. Love watching harvest videos in addition to your tip videos.
That really true you know because mandrine tree is important to grow karen boyar you also have to grow that mandrine tree too it good for you if you don't the mandrine tree will die
All your videos are great with loads of useful information.
Thanks a lot and please keep them coming.
I recycle my grass clippings plus I use Sugar cane mulch to have at least a 120mm bed of mulch. It's convenient way to feed the tree because I spread the citrus fertilisers over it and it releases slowly as I water.
Also watering is less frequent because as you know, the bottom of the mulch stay moist for a very long time. The mulch also supplies a nice soft landing for any fruit that drops.
My Washington Navel recently died, I think someone damaged it near the base with a lawn mower. In its last season, it produced a huge amount of fruit, mostly large and many of the fruit this time had quite a number of seeds. I think it knew it was dying and did its best to have offspring.
It was grafted onto Trifoliata root stock and was about 30 years old.
I have now bought a baby one in replacement but I think I will keep it in a large pot.
Thanks very much for your guidance on how to get the best yield I think I will apply all the 5 tips
Hello I’m 20 and just started watching you. Thankyou soo much for teaching me soo much about plants also pleeeeese can you do a video on how to deal with plants in a hot climate. Thanks soo much man you r a CZcams great
Great tips! Can't wait for my tree to arrive now!
Tips:
1. Growing position for maximum sun and away from harsh winds
2. Food in form of fertilizer like chicken manure but read manufacturer instructions on fertilizer so you have don’t over fertilize. If using animal product, it should not be fresh, let it rot first.
3. Water. If dropping leaves or fruit may need more water.
4. Pests- Should use organic options, not chemicals
5. Mulch protects roots from drying out. Helps hold in nutrients and fertilizer.
I watched this in 2018 and tried it and now my tree is full of em thanks!
You have the best videos!!! Started watching you when you only had 100k look at you go! You deserve it 🎉
Great Information. I have a large mandarin tree full of fruit and will be germinating some seeds to grow some more trees. I am living in Hawaii. My mother thinks your videos are a wonderful inspiration.
You re a great communicator and teacher...i have a mandarin plant waiting to be planted...and guess what ? Its going to be a 'ton load' mandarin plant! Stay blessed!
2 years ago my mandarin tree made 500-600 fruit but we could not get all the fruit, this year it made roughly 60 fruit maybe more. The outer skin is easy to peel, the fruits can be very large for a mandarin but normally average sized
Got around 50 manderines this year from tree bought from bunnings three yrs ago. First mentionable crop. Live Gippsland. Didnt think fruit would be much but they are sweet as. Havent tasted a manderine till you eat homegrown. Dont let colder regions like sth Victoria put you off. Imperial variety is a goer. East to peel.
They are amazing homegrown, aren't they! Cheers :)
what a fitting channel and brand name. you are/were way ahead of the pandemic
Thanks Mark. I just planted a mandarin tree a week ago. Fluked it with the position. Now to nurture it
Thanks for the great tips Self Sufficient Me!! My citrus plants will only get better thanks to you.
Thank you for your commitment to growing organically! It’s not always easy but long term, caring for the well being of your entire garden’s environment pays dividends. And I loved that you included a mention to allow some loss of fruit to go to wild birds and animals. It’s only natural. Why go to extremes that can harm your backyard ecology, only to insure an extra handful of fruit?
Thanks again for your thoughtful insights into sustainable growing and your joyful demeanor in the garden.
Those lovely dogs are just fine.
Part of the patterns and funny little things
Choice video Mark. Very informative. Yes bloody barking dogs. Dogs aren't the problem its the useless owners needing a wake up call. Love your growing setup.
How can I find out what type of orange tree I have? Love your channel especially the composting segments.
I love watching your videos. I get lots of ideas to use in my garden. I've been trying to get my husband to build the taller metal planters. Maybe some day. I wish we could grow a lot of citrus. Here in Central Florida we have whats called "Greening." It's a disease which causes the citrus trees to decline and die. We made it trough citcus canker. Now this. We will do what we can to keep the few trees we have alive as long as possible.
Citrus Greening sounds like a horrible disease! That's worse than the damage caused by our dreaded fruit fly here in Oz at least they only target the fruit directly but being a destructive bacteria that remains in the tree forever once infected is terrible. I hope one-day science finds a simple cure for such a problem. All the best :)
4:33 sky net
i just found the interview you did on
The Vegetable Gardening Show.
great interview.
Thanks Kathy! I was a bit disappointed with my internet connection and the choppy playback but we couldn't help that I guess. :)
@@Selfsufficientme I was wondering about the water used from the tub or washing machine,if it wouldn't be damaging since shampoos or detergents have chemicals...
Thanks for the video on growing mandarins.
Awesome info as always Mark! Thank you 👍🌳🍊
4:44 DID YOU SEE THAT!!??!?!!!? 😱 I THINK IT'S A LIGHTNING ⚡
Bone meal makes a huge diff in citrus too! I found it multiplied amazingly fruit on loquat & made them sweeter!
Great video gave good motivation to grow lots of mandarijn in Curaçao lots of sun and space
Thanks for all the good tips and suggestions. I really appreciate it. 😊
Thank you Daniel! :)
Nuisance barkers are annoying, aren't they?
Love your tips! I have a 15 year old mandarin tree; had citrus bug damage on my mandarins for the first time this winter...never saw them, only the damage as the fruit ripened. I wish there was a better, organic way of eliminating them. Oh well...still got a huge crop of mostly undamaged fruit.
I would love to support you man I love the energy you always bring to the table !!!if I had the money
Yes, it is delightful to watch your videos, the tips are very important. Mandarin tree specially their leaves were getting this dark dust causing damage. Living in P.R. I seldom see a mandarin tree in our neighborhood. I will plant one.
Happy New year to you friend and thank you for everything that I have learnt from your videos, I pray, so God keeps you healthy always and your family 🙏🙏🙏
I have my Madrid orange on the east side of my backyard it gets the west sun I have had it in the ground about 4 or 5 years just now fertilizing concerned about the morning shade I will be watering more and fertilizing
This was really helpful! Thank you for posting!!!
Very good guide
Sounds like I will need to implement these tips for getting the dwarf mandarin tree sorted. It hasn't flowered in the three years since moving up here to Central Queensland. No idea of how old it is eaither.
Yeah, give it a bit of love and she'll pay you back big time :)
Love your enthusiasm and editing! Thank you for the very helpful advice given with good humor. Just put a kishu and satsuma in the ground and can't wait for the fruit. I have rabbits and chickens so there is no shortage of fertilizer LOL.
Thanks Mark, see if it improves with your suggestions. My orange tree yields up to 300 fruit a year, not a 1 from mandarin though.
Thanks Mark for ur guidance.
Mark, always good. This is just an observation. A recent/distant video I saw of your was your uncle had about 3 dozen herds of native bees down the back. Pollination is really important to maximise citrus production, growers are learning more about that now. Even with hemaphrodite flowers many trees especially mango and citrus benefit greatly from pollination. I am not saying bees are necessary, like you, a healthy insect flora is sooo important to any environment or food production system. You may have a secret ingredient... :) ..... Another great video.....cheers... [ps.... do bees come in herds?.. I suspect they do, but might just be me!
I do suspect that you're right to suggest it helps to have good pollinators - that's a point I should include in a video because it's a really good one! My uncle removed those hives last week (after 4 years) and left me with one... sad I know... but he wanted to relocate them closer to his home and away from the bog down the back of our property. I still do see plenty of bees accessing our garden even though he has taken away 18 hives so I reckon there are many natural hives out in the bush regardless. Cheers :)
Great video ive wqtched it multiple time over the years! Quick important question though... How do I get aphids off my citrus tree??
Excellent explanation.
Thank you very much.
Great video. Can't wait to try it out. Thank you.
Hi Mark, great to get an Aussie showing the ropes. I have a mandarin tree at the side of my unit, not much space at all. Put there by the previous owner. There are river pebbles underneath. Neighbours trees keep the light out but one neighbour has just cut a tree down and I have asked the other neighbour to do the same. I have some oscmocote for succulents I just bought. Guess I can’t use that on the tree can i? Will have to get some mulch from Bunnings. Thanks for the help. 🐌🐞
I love the vids. Keep it up!
That last part got me running to the farm amd do some planting lol
Love your videos. Even though you are in Australia you have a very similar climate as I do in Melbourne Florida. I also love citrus but growing citrus here can be A LOT OF WORK. We have much disease and fungus due to the high humidity factor. I have to check on my citrus almost every single day. So anyway my comment is about the dogs at the end of your video. I think a simple solution would be to plant some kind of privacy plant just on your side of the property so the dogs really can't see you. I'm sure with a little research you could probably find something thick and something that could provide food. Good luck and keep the videos coming.
I like this show its full of useful info.
Excellent and humane squash technique 👍 :)
I have just put some lovely charlie carp solution on my tree, only to read the instructions and see it is a foliar spray! I will get the Multifeed S2000 out of the shed (organic fully composted chicken manure).
Love your vids thank you!
Overcome and adapt, great advice...
You are so lucky it rains where you live
Love the videos mark.
Great video, thank you! What variety are your mandarins? I'm looking to plant a new tree mid-spring and I have the perfect spot at my home for it!
Thank you for sharing❣
subscribed! very helpful and funny remark about dogs at the end. I like them except when they're unruly.
Thank you sooo much sooo informative
great tips man thank you!!
How to grow oranges.Thank you for sharing you videos.love them
Awesome thanks mark
Very helpful. Thank you sir!
Subhannallah this is so beautiful , ur are so lucky that u are around all this god sent nature , may Allah guide u
Thanks for the tips have planted a dwarf mandarin tree and it’s looking a little sad. Might go get some organic composed and some mulch to put around it. We have a lime tree also covered in those bugs. Thanks now I know what they are. Not sure how old the tree is as was here when we brought the place. But it’s covered in them. Someone suggested using white oil. But now I wonder if this is not a good idea as you said about the good bugs. Hmm. I’ll be there for days though if I try pick all the bugs off😖
tq for great tips. i love it
Hi Mark. I love these how to produce a ton of videos! Do you have a problem with termites destroying your fruit trees especially the stone fruits and if you do how do deal with it. Thank you
Wow, so much work, how do you keep up with it all? Your tree looks amazing!
Loving your videos , I'm a new subscriber:)
I am unlucky I live in England here there is no enough sun ⛅ but I grow lemon 🍋 but always sun is important
Great info thanks Mark
Love your videos, mate. I've learnt a lot. I have just started growing citrus trees. Greetings from Croatia. :)
Hey Mark, I know this is an old video but if you see this can tell me how you fertilize with deep mulch around the tree? I have a very deep mulch bed around my citrus and am unsure if I should pull the mulch back to apply my granular organic fertilizer or if I just put it on top of the deep mulch. Thanks.
Hi, can you grow mandarin trees from cuttings of a mature tree? How long does it take for the cuttings to begin producing fruit? Thank you!
Yes
Great video. Would love to know....did the neighbors recognize your polite hints about their dogs? lol
Idk if anyone notices but tree leaves get darker when rain is coming. Its what ive been seeing for years in the midwest
Thank you! Love ur video
Thanks Mark! Any tips on making sour citus sweeter???
I have lots of Mandarin plants, from seeds. Well due to Covid 19. Its 2 years now. MAy I know how many years it will produce fruit? Hope you answer me. Best regards
Hello, may I use the same tips for my clementine tree ?
Mandareeeeen! Thanks Mark!
Thankyou so much 💯😃
Hi Mark. I am just about to plant a Manderine tree in My yard in southern Brisbane. Can I keep ontop of pruning to have the height, say around 2m maximum?
heavenly amazing video series
Wondering if you help me I brought a grafted blood orange tree two years ago it seems to be growing slowly not any flowers yet my other citrus trees that I put in around the same time have given fruit I do follow your tips just wondering if I'm wasting my time or should I just hurry up and wait Chrs I have learnt a lot from you
Great info. Thanks ...
Hi, Mark, I've been been your channels subscriber,since half a decade.
I just got myself a plant of Valencia. Can you give me some tips on how to begin with the soil ?
Cheers from India 🇮🇳
I'm in Australia I have a small mandarin, but I only have one mandarin but a lot of curly leaves, can you tell me what is going on, we have only just moved here and the same thing is with a cumquat tree.
I planted Pixie and PAGE TANGERINE in the ground from a 5 gallon container. I followed your teaching and the trees are growing new leaves with flowering. Would I get fruit the first year or second year?
Good mandrine tree growing it also for my project how many of that mandrine
Ya feni you are right mandrine tree can grow fast but you sun and watering can and you can wait for tomorrow OK bye
This is a great video - thank you for all the advice. I currently have a lot of clementines growing on our little tree - but it is also putting out new leaves. Should I cut the new growth off? I'm worried that it will take the energy away from growing the fruit.
Is it grafted or grown from seeds??? Please answer.... Thank you.
Sos my mandarin tree leaves are pale green, I try giving fertilizer, watering the roots but no luck, any suggestions??
4:32 turn into a robot for a split second there 😳 🤣
