Looking for advice on satsuma trees.

I have 6 trees. I'd say 1 out of 3 have failed and I replanted. Some young ones will produce fruit, but conventional wisdom is to remove fruits for the first 3 years to allow for structural development.

You’ll want to download or buy this Louisiana Home Citrus Production. Discusses the most common satsuma varieties. Artic Frost is another very cold tolerant satsuma you may see in some retail garden centers and it is not mentioned in the manual b/c the variety was not being produced in LA prior to publication of the manual. I have Owari and Brown Select.

Purchase 3 gallon container plant sold at retail garden centers, the big box stores, or farmer’s markets. By law, they all will have been produced by licensed citrus nurseries in Louisiana.

Also watch this 4 min video by KiKi Fontenot, horticultural research and extension professor, LSU AgCenter and follow her advice. Growing Citrus

To repeat what the other poster said, you should remove most, if not all, the fruit the first 3 or 4 years to allow the tree to grow and branches to sufficiently develop to support the weight of the fruit. It’s what commercial citrus farmers do - my BIL has a commercial citrus orchard in Port Sulphur. The trees will produce fruit the first year you plant them - but it’s not wise to let them.
