Tangerine bitter & fruit dropping too soon

Hidee frens and naybers!

I have a 6 year old tangerine tree giving fruit for past 3 years. Have been
fertilizing and watering per nursery advice except no ammonium sulfate added
until last year (this year adding 1 cup in spring, summer and fall per
nursery advice). Fruit is falling off again this year, as in past 2 years -
just after starting to turn color, about 2-inches diameter. That fruit is
super bitter. Throwing it in the compost pile by the bushel this year.

It gets full sun from morning until about 3pm when shade from a nearby tree
shades it for the rest of the day. Leaves, etc, all look healthy & no insects
or diseased look. Soil test shows in the proper ranges.

I'm about out of ideas. Any idears about what to do try?

Bob


Any ideas?

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And itıs not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. Thatıs hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they donıt get away with no taxation.
