My satsuma tree did not bloom this year

Did you pick everything off it last year or did you trim it?

I picked about five satsumas last year. That was the first year I had it. No I didn't trim it

That's what I was hoping. Thanks!

all fruit trees make well some years and make little others...any stress on the tree at bloom time will shut it down for the year...


good for them to go a year every once in a while without having to support fruit anyway...

did you have plenty of water on it - citrus leaves love water- and if it is young it will skip a year

DO you have one or more than one tree planted together?

This may be a good thread to ask my Satsuma question...

I bought 3 yr old trees and planted them in April. They are loaded with fruit. The tree was about 4-5ft tall, not its about 3ft tall and the branches are touching the ground bc the fruit is so heavy. Should I have cut off the fruit early on to allow the tree to grow larger before it started producing fruit?

No, it'll be fine as long as the weight doesn't split a branch.

Plus we had some pretty cold weather last winter that set mine back.

I bought a house about 3 months ago and there is a satsuma tree in the backyard. It has quite a bit of fruit on it but it is all super green. Around how much longer will it be green before ripening?

I am very new to this.

Yeah it's healthy. Lots of new growth this summer. It's almost twice the size as last year

Did you fertilize it? If fruit trees get too much fertilizer they will put all their effort into growing instead of fruit.
