Dancy Mandarin is a winter fruit-producing evergreen shrub with a spreading crown, and dense, mostly thornless foliage. The thin skinned, easy peal fruit are juicy with a slight spice and improved sweetness and reduced acidity. These fruit are produced in alternate years and best harvested cut from the tree to avoid damaging the fruit. Grows best in full sun and sandy to loamy well-drained acidic soils. Dancy is self-pollinating and has improved cold resistance, but is still susceptible to frost.

Hahira Nursery takes pride in growing high-quality, fresh, healthy plants and ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, and with little to no damage so they are ready to be planted.
Despite all of our best efforts, once the plants have left our nursery, there are many variables outside of our control that can cause plants, flowers, trees, shrubs, or grasses to not thrive as they should. Plants are living organisms and are susceptible to a number of different environmental and care factors that are outside of our control.
Our goal is to build strong relationships with our customers and we always want to make things right, but we cannot always guarantee what happens once the plants are outside of our nursery, how you care for the plants, if they’re in the correct growing zones, weather damage, soil conditions, insect infestations, etc..
If you have any questions or concerns about a purchase you’ve made, please email us at info@hahiranursery.com and we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to the best of our ability.
Please note that all living organisms are not identical and their coloring, size, and shapes may differ from what you see online in our store. Each plant has its own characteristics that are impacted by the time of year, growth cycle, weather, and other elements which will cause them to look different than their photos.
