Same issue here. Plenty of flowers and fruit earlier but only two left and no flowers. i did see some evidence of browse that was probably the result of deer at night! Live in a subdavision but out in the Tiger Bend area so I know deer are in the area, just getting brave coming into my front yard!

Any other OB'ers having Satsuma issues?

Trees at my house usually do good every other year, not sure why but that's the way it is.

Doubt it's deer. I live in that area, too, and we had a terrible hail storm a while back. My tree is doing pretty good, though.

Also, I have always heard that they tend to drop their fruit prematurely in year 2 after transplant.

ETA - Mine lost all but one last year (2nd year), but it's loaded this year.
