Citrus unshiu - China Satsuma

China Satsuma, introduced from China in the 1990’s, this unique selection of Satsuma bears good crops of round, bright orange, sweet, very flavorful, easy to peel fruit.

A number of China Satsumas were brought in from the Hubai province in China after an extreme cold event and the ones that survived were given numbers. S-2 is known for its good vigor, cold hardiness, and fruit quality. S-6 has very high quality fruit and also a good degree of cold hardiness. S-9 has decent fruit quality and vigor but is quite cold hardy. It is hard to say at this point which of these selections is the most cold hardy but all of them are showing promise thus far.
