Satsuma Tree

Satsuma Tree Code: CTR007

£85.95 inc. p&p 85.9500 In Stock New

Citrus unshiu

The hardiest of the citrus varieties that we offer. Satsuma is a native of the very cold parts of Asia where it has adapted to withstand temperatures of -15°c for sustained periods. It is one of the easier Citrus varieties to crop and makes a very compact tree with a small leaf and multiple fruits. It is also one of the sweetest citrus fruits, and being easier to peel than a tangerine is a great favourite in the UK. The fruits ripen in late October and November.


Pollination: Self-fertile.


Plant size: 5.5 litre pot / 60-90cm (2-3ft) from base of pot.


Available for delivery: all year.


 

Citrus are a great addition to any garden and can be grown for many years in pots or planted in the soil in those parts of the country with a reasonably mild climate. The fruits ripen from the late Autumn until mid-spring, but the tree is active at all times of the year with flowers, fruitlets and mature fruits on the tree all at the same time. Citrus will thrive in temperatures above 5ºC and cope with occasional drops below freezing for short periods. During the winter months if the temperature drops below freezing, trees in pots should be moved to a glasshouse, garage or shed and trees planted in the open ground should be wrapped with fleece whilst temperatures stay low. Citrus are not house plants and will not succeed in the environment of central heating.

 

Our citrus trees are grafted on to Poncirus trifoliata rootstock and are 3-4 years old. They are supplied in 5.5 litre pots and are 60-90cm (2-3ft) tall on despatch (measured from the base of the pot). Trees are usually available all year.
