Plant Details
Everything you need to know before you plant
Kinnows are highly sensitive to overwatering at flowering stage. Excess moisture can cause flower drop and reduce fruit set. Water moderately and avoid fertilizing during flowering.
Outdoor: Choose a sunny location with rich, loamy, well-drained soil.
Pot: Use a large 16-20 inch container with drainage holes. Fill with citrus potting mix or sandy loam blended with compost.
Water deeply when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry. During fruiting, reduce watering to avoid fruit drop. Once every 4-5 days in summer and once a week in winter is typical.
Apply a citrus-specific fertilizer monthly from March to August. Supplement with micronutrients if needed. Stop fertilizing after September to prevent winter growth.
Remove all suckers from below the graft. Prune lightly after harvest to open up the canopy and remove dead or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning.
Mature Kinnow trees tolerate mild frost but protect young plants if temps fall below 2C. Use frost cloths or bring containers indoors temporarily.

About Kinnow Mandarin Tree (Citrus reticulata)
Pakistan's Signature Citrus Export
Kinnow is Pakistan's crown jewel of citrus – a hybrid between King (Citrus nobilis) and Willow Leaf (Citrus deliciosa), developed originally in California and now cultivated extensively across Punjab. This mid-season mandarin variety is prized for its rich sweetness, vibrant orange color, and high juice content, with peak harvest season between December and March.
Perfectly Adapted to Pakistani Conditions
Kinnow trees love full sun and deep, fertile soil. They thrive in Punjab's well-drained loamy soils and tolerate the region's hot summers and mild winters.
