Satsuma Tangerine 15G

Satsuma Tangerine in a 15 Gallon Pot, is available in Jupiter, FL.

Sweet, seedless, and incredibly easy to peel—the Satsuma Tangerine Tree (Citrus reticulata 'Satsuma') in a 15-gallon pot is a cold-tolerant citrus star that brings juicy flavor and early harvests to South Florida gardens. This beloved mandarin variety is known for producing reliably sweet fruit even in cooler winters, with a compact form that fits beautifully in home orchards, edible landscapes, and large containers.

The 15-gallon size offers a well-established, fruit-ready tree that transplants easily and often begins bearing fruit within the first season.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun—at least 6–8 hours daily—to fuel flowering and sweet fruit production.

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during the growing season and fruit development. Avoid overwatering or letting the soil dry out completely.

• Soil: Thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil. Add compost or organic matter to poor soils to improve structure and nutrition.

• Fertilizer: Use a citrus-specific fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during active growth. Include trace minerals like magnesium and iron to support vibrant foliage and juicy fruit.

• Growth Habit: Compact, rounded canopy with glossy foliage and fragrant spring blooms. In a 15-gallon pot, the tree typically reaches 5–6 feet tall, with mature heights of 8–12 feet in the ground.

• Temperature: One of the most cold-hardy citrus varieties, suitable for USDA Zones 9A–11. Perfect for South Florida, and more tolerant of brief cold snaps than most tropical citrus.

• Maintenance: Very low. Prune after harvest to maintain shape. Keep an eye out for citrus leaf miner and scale, and use organic sprays as needed.

Fruit Notes: Produces small to medium-sized seedless, easy-peel fruit with vibrant orange skin and sweet, tangy segments. Ripens early—often ready to enjoy in late fall to early winter.
