Satsuma Mandarin Orange Tree

The Satsuma Mandarin Orange Tree is one of the best-loved citrus trees for North Florida gardens, home orchards, edible landscapes, patios, and backyard fruit plantings. Satsumas are a strong choice for local customers because they are one of the classic cold-hardy citrus trees for North Florida and the Florida Panhandle.

Satsuma mandarins are known for their sweet, juicy fruit, easy-peeling skin, dependable Southern flavor, and ability to handle our area better than many more tender citrus varieties. The fruit is perfect for fresh eating, lunchboxes, fruit bowls, snacks, holiday fruit, and sharing with family. The tree also brings beauty to the landscape with glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant white citrus blooms, and bright orange fruit in the fall.

In North Florida and the Florida Panhandle, satsumas are one of the most popular citrus choices because they are more cold-hardy than many oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit. Young trees still need protection during hard freezes, but established satsuma trees are often a better choice for local customers wanting citrus that is better suited to our Southern growing conditions.

Satsuma Mandarin Orange trees grow best in full sun, well-drained soil, and a warm protected location. They can be planted in the ground or grown in large containers, especially while young. Good air flow, proper watering, and freeze protection when needed can help the tree perform better in local landscapes.
