I garden in the Central Valley of California, zone 9/10. Although I can harvest all year, my growing season is 240 days long. My average rainfall is 11 inches a year, with most of it in the spring. My frost dates are November 30 and March 30.
This year the citrus crop is huge. My poor little tangerine tree was hanging it's branches down from all of the weight of the fruit. I thinned out the fruit, tossing almost three full buckets. I hated to do that, but I don't want to damage the tree, either.
As you can see, the tree still has plenty of tangerines for me to eat--they will be ready in February, just as my navel oranges are finished.
