Why it grows at Jaipur

Mandarins do best in Rajasthan's wetter Jhalawar belt and in Nagpur. On the region's alkaline soils (typically pH 7.8–8.4) and in Jaipur's dry heat, kagzi lime is the more reliable citrus, so that's what we grow here.

What can go wrong

Citrus psylla and leaf miner
Iron deficiency on alkaline soil (managed with chelates)
Frost on young trees in January cold snaps
And always: weather, pests, market prices and plants lost while they establish.
