Satsumas: What can I do with them?

Juice them and freeze the juice if you want. I've been squeezing them in my gin and tonic.

I bought some satsuma jelly, but I haven't tried it yet. I was looking for satsuma pepper jelly. I think that would be good, too.

So do I. I've never had so many satsumas, oranges and lemons. My trees' branches have been bent toward the ground. I'm a little worried that some of the limbs have been damaged. I've been picking from the bottom of to try to relive the stress, but there is so much fruit. I've begged people to come over and pick what they want. My oranges are the sweetest best tasting I've ever had.

How long can the fruit stay on the trees before it goes bad?

I pick all the way until late February.

Well it's not going to use many of them but I love a satsuma old fashioned and a satsuma buttermilk pie.

If you're in South La.
You're good til late Jan sometimes Early February.

Don't forget to prune your tree after picking.
Cut the branches that are pointing down.

This tells everything needed. I have picked over 300 Meyer lemons with about that left on the trees. Gave a basket to the Food Bank and St Vincent. Squeezed and froze a ton in ice cube trays.

Friend makes satsumacello and gives out for Christmas. I don't have the taste for it so I've never made it.

I keep the umbrella raised on my trees to keep the fruit from hitting the ground and to be able to get underneath them. I do have to get a ladder for the top fruit but I keep the top pruned a bit as well for management. I normally get white fly and mold on the leaves and about once a year I have to spray liquid 7 pesticide but only use it minimally. Don't leave any mulch around the trunk. It prevents heat from entering during freezes.
