The Seto Satsuma Tree is a specially selected tree that has exceptional cold-resistance and is easy to grow in areas that do not normally allow the growing of citrus. It is hardy for short periods at 10 degrees, so it can be planted outdoors even in zone 8. If you live in a colder area, this is a small tree ideally suited for growing in pots. You can keep the tree outside during warmer weather and bring it into a cool, bright spot indoors for the times the outdoor temperature is near to, or below, freezing. You will not have a long wait for the fruit to be ready to eat, since this variety is ready by Thanksgiving, while most other citrus wait until Christmas or into January to ripen.
Your Seto Satsuma Tree will grow well in any sheltered, sunny spot, either in the ground or as a potted tree outdoors. If you are planting in the ground, choose a spot that is not low-lying or poorly-drained. This tree will grow in most kinds of soil. Your tree will have few serious pests and needs no special pruning or treatment to give you a heavy crop of fruit ā 70 pounds or more on a well-established tree.
