If you only get one citrus tree this year, it has to be a satsuma. These are everyone's favorite. The fruit they produce is sweet, petite and juicy. The flavor is described as "honey-sweet" with minimal acidity. Satsumas can tolerate temperatures as low as 15° F when fully grown. Young satsuma trees and trees that haven't entered dormancy are usually only tolerant to 26° F. They are considered one of the most cold-tolerant citrus trees. When planted in the ground, this tree can mature in at 10-'15 tall. Self-fertile, but two trees will boost crop production. Grafted on Sour rootstock.
About Sour Rootstock The rootstock provides a strong root system that helps the citrus tree grow and produce fruit. The trifoliate orange rootstock is valued for its resistance to cold, tristeza virus, and root rot. It's also sometimes called a "semi-dwarfing" rootstock because it can slow down the overall size of the tree.
