Satsumas generally need cool weather to sweeten, which also triggers the orange color change in the skin of the fruit. If they are not exposed to cool fall weather then the fruit can ripen and still remain green. Given your zone is there a reason you are not planting it in the ground? Being in zone 9 it should be safe to plant in the ground, but may need some freeze protection in extremely cold winters (those once in 30-50 year winters)

Don't have the room. It gets down to the 30 to 40 degrees. Hope that is enough.

do you have to move the pot around or can it be stationary.

It is in a container and can be stationary or moved around

As the tree grows keep up sizing the container. There is nothing wrong with containers of 100+ gallons for a large very fruitful tree.

Lorraine, are you using two different screen names here?

When you ask a question, sometimes someone else takes your place when posting....Thanks

You are going to need patience with a Satsuma, but that patience will definitely pay off. The flavor of the fruit can take several years to fully develop.

It is an excellent variety to have in the yard. Mandarins taste so much better picked right off your tree than at the supermarket.

The Satsuma variety is almost seedless, but occasionally you will find a seed or two in one of the fruits. Maybe every 1 out of 4 fruits. I hold the little segments up to the sunlight to see if they have a seed in them.

If that is rain, I can understand why your tree would be so happy! I pray for rain and never get it(

Beautiful.. Just brought mne. Has two. Hoping for more the end of the year. I repotted and think it has room to grow.

You will enjoy your Satsuma I think. I think it's one of the best citrus edibles for containers. You are 'hoping' for more fruit and may get some next season. Typically these bloom sometime in Feb-April and the crop grows slowly over summer to ripen in Nov-December. If you don't see blooms or tiny fruits now, you probably won't until next year.

Gorgeous nick!

I do see tiny blooms, so hoping to see some fruit in DecemberDecember
