Just ate the first Satsuma orange of the season, from our own tree.

Learning when to fertilize was key to get good production out of our dwarf Satsumas this year.
We have maybe 20 -25 oranges this season, the small trees are only a few years old.
The trick is also to know when to pick..the skin has to be sort of "loose".
There is a town about 50 miles further south called Satsuma, at one time it was a very lucrative crop, till a major freeze destroyed most of the trees, way back when.

Anyhow, the flavor is fantastic, nothing like store bought, and the orange peels have an incredible strong aroma.
