My neighbors Satsumas are fantastic this year.

It is very, very late for satsumas. They start ripening in early October and are usually at their peak before Thanksgiving. The trees are about to begin flowering again....wait too much longer and the fruit will be overripe and fall off the tree.

My Grandma, in Vermilion Parish, had several trees in her yard. I would make myself almost ill I would eat so many. They are divine.

Same here. Dead ones all over my tree

Make some infused vodka with them things.

Different breeds of satsumas. Ours don't ripen til mid December

A few years back when I lived on heavenly Braithwaite soil, I had a La. sweet orange tree and a navel orange tree. They produced so much we could fill garbage bags - too much to give away off just 2 trees. I used to make fresh orange juice all the time. Just amazing.That old neighborhood is a ghost town now - it didn't rebuild after the hurricanes - but I passed through there a year or so ago and the trees are still standing and still cranking them out.

Friend of mine has about 10 acres of these growing, by far the best on the planet. My one satsuma tree does well most years.....
