This mandarin cultivar is known for its cold-hardiness and fruit that is easy to peel. Citrus mandarin 'Satsuma' produces heavy crops of mild-flavored, juicy, seedless fruit that ripen in early winter. It is also well-suited for container gardening due to its slower growth rate. Citrus mandarin 'Satsuma' features scented white flowers during the summer months and is self-fertile, making it a great option for gardeners who desire low-maintenance fruit production. Citrus mandarin is evergreen and native to China, Japan, and Vietnam.

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
