The Height of a Mr. Mac Satsuma Tree

About Satsuma

• The Mr. Mac variety grows to 6 feet tall and is a heavy fruit producer, with the fruit ripening in the fall. The fruits of a Satsuma tend to have very few seeds when compared to other citrus, usually only a couple of seeds per mandarin. A benefit of a Satsuma tree is that the leaves of the tree remain green all year, even in colder climates.

Satsuma Care

• Drought tolerant and easy to care for, Satsumas need watering every three to four days during the summer months and much less during the winter months. Flowers begin blooming between March and April.

Growing Satsuma

• Satsumas prefer full sun locations and need at least 8 hours of full sun a day for optimal fruit production. One of the best features of this mandarin is that it can easily be grown in colder areas, although if temperatures go below 26 degrees it needs to be brought into a sheltered area.

Satsuma Tips

• Satsumas can be grown successfully in containers up to 20 gallons, which makes it easy to move when needed.

  Fruit should be left on the tree for about a week after it has turned orange to fully sweeten.
