Owari Satsuma potted
Comments (5)Also at this point the plant is very weak please keep an eye out for spider mites and or scale they could kill your plant if let go un noticed. Mike is right about the gnats and wet soil you can wicked your pot to dry soil out faster.Before the tree got sick did you get severe leaf curl. Leaf curl is a sign of soggy roots and a warning the tree is trying to say no more please. So try to dry it out and balance.

Comments (1)If the root snapped from tipping the pot , it was insignificant to be a real loss. Try placing the tree in a shaded area for a few days and bring it back out into the sun. 3 of my sweetlee tangerine trees had root outside the pot and I transplanted them. I put them in shade and broken light for about a week to 2 weeks. They are doing fine now. Nice to hear you got some good fruit...See MoreToday's back from the dead...
Comments (21)Well my iris are just starting to bloom, some purple poppies and my Amaryllis are getting a good start. Don't know how many more years I will get our of my iris as they don't like this climate. Looking forward to see what all comes back this year. Looks like I lost my Mexican Fire bush, shame so pretty last year. My beauty berry just doesn't seem to want to die off so I keep them down to where they can be enjoyed without taking over everything. My day lilies are starting to fill in a lot of space that needs to be used for something. Looks like one Red Texas Star Hibiscus came back with 4 shoots so it should be nice and full. No sign of my hardy hibiscus but then they do start late sometimes. Lost my tropical hibiscus and my avocado tree. Won't have as much satsuma's this year, at least not as many blooms so far. I enjoy planting herbs within my flower bed as I just don't have enough room here in the city. Paul...See MoreFound an Owari Satsuma
Comments (20)Excellent tree! This past weekend I attended our Mountain Mandarin Festival here in the foothills of northern California, where there are numerous Owari Satsuma orchards. They are slightly cold hardy, and they ripen around the middle of November for us, so they're perfect. Every gas station, boutique, feed store, grocer, and pharmacy carries 15-pound bags of them right now. We'll be gorging on them for the next two months. I think they're an excellent piece of fruit. Easy to peel, practically seedless, juicy, and a nice balance of sweet and tart. Plus, they perform well in containers. A tree that size would sell for $25, even though the market is saturated with them. You got a good deal, indeed. My 1 year-old nephew is visiting for Thanksgiving, and we were literally just eating a few Owari's (20 minutes ago). He likes biting the rind, but I peeled them and split the wedges in half for him.
