What frost zone are you in there? I have some I just put into the ground up against the South side of the house here in Chesapeake, VA. On the border of 7B/8A on the map. I will call it 7B since we are usually about 5F colder than what they predict every night. Today I will be putting on the C9 lights and 1.5oz (heavy) plant jackets I got for cheap on Amazon. I will leave it on them for the Winter... and only turn on the lights for my baby trees when temps head South of 20F... which will be rare. I think it got down to 12F about 3 or 4 times last winter and they were fine in a pot in the same space... without the lights. My Meyer lemons even survived without wood damage... although they did get defoliated. The oranges acted like nothing happened.
@@samandthesoutherngardener3974 Oh yeah it should do well there long term for sure! I just covered mine with an HD frost jacket last year in the micro climate agonist the south side of my home. Not even any leaf drop after many 12F nights. My lemons were defoliated for sure. Edit: And… I just realized I repeated myself. Lol I am getting old I suppose.
Just came across your channel. I like what you're doing Brother. New friend over here. Hope to stay connected on this garden journey. Take care and have a Great Day!
@@samandthesoutherngardener3974 Thanks! I have a Miho Satsuma Mandarin and was thinking about an Owari. I am in Lubbock, Texas zone 7 and we have prolonged hard freeze events regularly during winter. My solution was to build a seasonal Lean-to greenhouse against a shed. It is working well for the Miho and a Rio Red Grapefruit so far so I was thinking of building another for an Owari 👍 Best of luck with your tree!
The Satsuma is ripe before it turns completely orange. If you wait till they turn completely orange they will be to ripe. The 2 next to the orange one are ripe. Pick one and let me know😊
Wow look at the oranges 🍊! That’s an awesome looking citrus tree.
It's 4 years old. They usually have a banner crop at 5 years old. I'll keep you posted of next season's growth.
Nice Video! Thank you Sir! 😊
Thanks for watching as I post new videos.
Beautiful tree 🤩🌴

we're in zone 8A, Central Georgia. We're about 150 miles north of the Florida line.

Thank you. gardening is a passion. I also love fruit trees and houseplants
Amazing where you bough you satsuma
South Carolina. If interested, I can forward you the grower/supplier's information/
Why plated to close to the wall?
New suscribe i live on the south of Georgia
It should be quite easy for you to grow Satsumas in South Georgia. I'm up near Macon.
You should try Dekopon or Sumo orange.
Is that an Owari Satsuma?
I just saw his other video a few days ago... yes I think it is.
Yes, it's an Owari Satsuma. I chose it for its cold weather tolerance.
