Bumper Satsuma Mandarin

The Bumper™ Satsuma lives up to its name and delivers a massive crop of beautiful golden-orange fruits, from November to February. They are seedless and the skin just pulls away with no effort, like opening a zipper. The flavor is sweet but tangy, with that distinctive citrus aroma. This tree grows to about 12 feet in the garden, but only 6 feet in a pot, and with its huge crop it is perfect for indoor/outdoor growing in any part of the country. The glossy, dark-green evergreen foliage is always beautiful, and the white flowers in spring have that classic orange-blossom fragrance.

Grow the Bumper™ Satsuma in full sun, and plant it in the garden in zone 9. In cooler zones grow it in a container, keeping it in a bright, cool place when outdoor temperatures are below 40 degrees. Use a well-drained potting mix, preferably one designed for citrus trees, and feed regularly with a citrus fertilizer. Pests and diseases are usually minimal and can easily be dealt with. No pruning is needed, and no second tree for pollination is necessary. Simple hand-pollination is advised for trees in containers.
