My relatively small tree yielded 450 satsumas.

Not including throwaways or the ones that got eaten by animals.

Most I ever had on it before was about 150. Is this supposed to be some bumper crop year for citrus or something? Wet summer?

Can I trade oranges for drugs?

What would be cool is if you live in Satsuma, too.

Do you?

Fruit trees will sometimes do what yours did. Have a bumper year followed by a poor one, or at least one not as productive. Enjoy the plentiful harvests while you get them.

More carbon dioxide in the air. Global warming is actually good unironically.

Mine got caught up in the freeze last year, so I don't have as many as usual. They aren't tasting sweet yet, either. I'm disappointed so far.

General Question

I have a single satsuma tree that is about 6-7 years old. It produced 1 satsuma about 3 years ago.

Is something wrong or will it one day start to produce?

You can give them to City Citrus.

If you don’t want my Satsumas, don’t shake my tree.

Or

Squeeze me baby, 'till the juice runs down my leg

Satusuma marmalade. Give small jars out as gifts to acquaintances over the next two months.

Satsuma curd is also fricking awesome and freezes well.

I always feel left out when people start threads about something specific to southern Louisiana but don't explain what they are talking about for the rest of us rubes.

da fuq is a satsumas?

My Key Lime tree took a whack from the freeze last year..Almost killed it..About the same amount of fruit as your tree. Probably another two or three years before I see some fruit.
