JakfruitEttiquette says... I have tried Satsumas, (not E's s m,). In Japan they are called Unshu mikan, and are/were very popular. I thought they had a mild sweet flavour, whereas Imperial has a sweet-acid flavour. There are about 5 or 6 Satsuma Vars in Aust, some early, some late, so depends which one E's propagate. Also they are one of the most cold tolerant mandarins, so may suit your location. I have read that Satsumas have a two week window of perfection for commercial production in Japan, that is why all the early to late types were developed. I think quality should be high, but flavour will depend on your tastes. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette 3rd August 2013 7:50am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

Boris Spasky says... Dude, you live next door to Engalls nursery, where they have a mature tree you could have tasted the fruit from earlier in the year. Personally a bland fruit, aka sub acid. It was a sport from a Okitsu satsuma I believe. Like all Satsumas they deteriorate if left on the tree past maturity. Prefer a clementine over Satsumas, which ripens around the same time. | About the Author Boris Spasky 3rd August 2013 10:38pm #UserID: 7085 Posts: 184 View All Boris Spasky's Edible Fruit Trees |
