My mandarin tree has only very small fruit. I've only had it for a couple
of years, but there's quite a bit of fruit already, could this be why?
Should I have removed some of the fruit when they first began? Will they be
better next year?

Thanks for any help

Maybe its a kumquat? Or maybe it produces a small mandarin variety?

My neighbor fertilized his mandarin tree soil with dead fish. And it seemed
to help.

It's definitely not a Kumquat. I've forgotten which one it is, but I did
some research before buying it, and picked one of the *easy to peel* types.

May be trimming back small branches should help too.

Might have helped the mandarins, but I bet it didn't help relationships with
the neighbours.
