This Satsuma selection is characterized by its large, seedless fruit and yellow-orange skin that is both easy to peel and segment. The fruit is typically harvested in the fall, while Citrus mandarin 'Okitsu' produces white flowers during the summer months. Additionally, Citrus mandarin 'Okitsu' is self-fertile, making it a reliable option for growers. Citrus mandarin is evergreen and native to China, Japan, and Vietnam. Citrus mandarin 'Okitsu' originated as a seedling of Citrus mandarin 'Miyagawa' during a controlled pollination by M. Kajiura and T. Iwasaki at the Horticultural Research Station in Okitsu, Japan. Citrus mandarin 'Okitsu' was distributed for trial in 1953, registered in 1963, and introduced into Europe in 1983.

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.

Soil pH

When designing and planting your garden, it can be useful to know whether the soil is acid or alkaline, as different plants thrive in different soils. The soil pH is a number that describes how acid or alkaline your soil is. The soil pH scale will give you an idea of what soils a species will grow in.

Acidic soils have a pH below 7.0

Alkaline soils have a pH above 7.0

Neutral soils have a pH of 7.0
