The Okitsu Satsuma Tree is a newer, improved variety of Satsuma, remarkable for its vigorous growth, heavy crops, super-sweet fruit and great flavor. It is easily grown outdoors even in areas with occasional cold-snaps in winter, or it makes a great small tree in a pot, which can be grown anywhere. The beautiful evergreen foliage is a glossy green all year round, and the white flowers are fragrant and will fill the air with perfume. The fruit is a beautiful orange-red when ripe and the peel just falls away from the segments, which rarely have even one seed in them. Your family and children will love to eat this fruit throughout the holiday season, before Thanksgiving and all the way to Christmas.
Choose a sunny location for your Okitsu Satsuma Tree and plant it in any kind of well-drained soil. In just a few years you should be harvesting 40 pounds of delicious Satsumas from your tree. Even if you live in a colder area, this compact tree can easily be grown in a pot, brought inside during the coldest months and placed outdoors during warmer periods. Even an unheated porch will keep your tree happy in all but the coldest parts of the country. This easy to grow tree is a great choice for anyone wanting to give citrus growing a try.
