How Will I Know When a Satsuma is Ripe?

I planted a tree in Feb. It is small but it has 15 satsumas on it. They are starting to turn orange. Should I pick them now?

yeah they'll turn orange. When ripe you can easily peel with your hands by inserting your thumb ( lolz) into the top where it was connected to the tree

When the skin starts to separate from the meat near the stem.

Different citrus varieties ripen at different times. Satsumas can be completely ripe while still green, and will turn completely orange later in the fall.
Don't pick them all at once. Try one or two now and see if they are sweet. Pick them as you want to eat them. Best place to store them is on the tree. You can leave them on the tree until after Christmas.
