Growing a satsuma tree
Posted on 1/29/13 at 6:47 am

Went and bought a satsuma tree Saturday and looking for any tips. Kinda bought it on a whim and didn't think about it very much.
I transplanted it to a large pot and put some fruit tree food and watered it.
Any other tips in keeping this thing alive? I know I need to move it inside if it freezes.
TIA!!

Plant on the south side of a building, not out in the complete opening. I've yet to see one planted out in the wide open thrive. Once the fear of a frost is gone, plant it. Treat like another tree, it will live.

Keep it in the pot until march. That is like wrapping a baby up tight and putting it in the crib, it just feels good to them, and you're more likely to nurture it while it's in the pot. If you have a south side yard, plant it there when you do plant it.
Disclaimer: I don't have any fruit-bearing satsumas but my uncle makes the best ones I've ever had. That's what he told me for the ones I'm gonna plant this spring.

That's pretty much it and once you get it established in the ground they are almost carefree. I do know bonus s knocks their dick in the dirt, so make sure you limit the use around them.

They need a balanced fertilizer: 10-10-10 or 13-13-13 work well.

Some tips I was given from a friends dad that has about 30 trees.
Plant it on the southside of a building to protect from north winds.
Satsumas dont need much fertilizer at all. He actually told me not to use any at all.
If its going to get really cold then pile a mound of dirt up over the graph area of the stem. Then remove it when the threat is gone.
