Looks great. Might have to purchase a couple of them.
Putting up green house and cleared a little bit of land. Looking forward to growing more things. Might have to come visit you again.
Come on... it's been a long time 😀
We have bought hundreds of trees from Bob Wells, Ed and Rachel are great people. Have you been to their new facility in Mineola?
Not yet, but I will soon.
Ed's a great guy.... very knowledgeable.
Good to hear from you guys again :)
I came back to this video for advice. I got my artic frost satsuma(hardy to 10 degrees) at JRN Nursery in Houston on a little day trip. The discount code still works I used it on my bare root apples there. Great root system
That is awesome!
Great video thanks for sharing....I'm looking to add more citrus in my garden you give good advice!
Thanks so much!
Those sure look yummy! I was just thinking about canning some mandarins. I wish I could grow them here in Idaho!
Hmmm I've never heard of anyone canning oranges... sounds like fun!
Bob wells is my favorite. I just drive the 1.5 hr and get my trees
Use *TP2* as a Discount Code and I think you'll get my 10% discount 👍😀
@@BIGALTX thanks will
you should plant it in ground for optimal growth
I probably will, but the nursery man said to leave it in the container for this winter and protect it if it got too cold.
He said then I could plant in the ground in the spring.
I bought an Artic King satsuma from Bob Wells last year and planted it in the ground. I kept Christmas lights on it last year and it did fine. I picked over about 25 small tasty juicy fruits. But not nearly as big as your fruits. I might need to get one of those. Looks great!
Christmas Lights?!?!
Genius! 😎
ayye thats a great idea :))
How your tree doing I’m thinking about purchasing one from bobs as well lol
If you do get a few root stock suckers it don't hurt to try and pot them up. If you can get a few to root that gives you free root stock to graft on too.
It's not necessary, but it's something to do, and at worst you really have nothing to lose. I've been able to get a few to root from my dwarf peach trees root stock.
Thanks for the tip!
I let my Washington Navel orange set a spur off the base RIGHT at the roostock like yours, and it's the most productive branch this year for that smaller tree lol. I let it grow and was admiring that junction this evening, it widens significantly if you leave it. (I have videos 😁).
Good looking citrus trees. Where are you located?
Currently, middle-south DFW... but we're leaving. Gonna take the equity and move to east Texas and farm. I'll have to change my channel name 😁
@@suburbangardenpermaculture3117
Excellent. Where you moving to?
@@BIGALTX not sure... looking around the lakes, Fork and Tawokoni... that area looks real green on the map 😂. Not looking to head to a dryer area, and need to get this Homestead looking like a 'home' again. Looking for a MINIMUM of 5 acres (we say to each other, that'd have to be a HECK of a 5 acres plot lol) and just... it's a big move.
I'll drop a short, 1-2 min video tomorrow, focus in on that rootstock junction thing for ya. It's not gonna mess up my channel or anything lol, there ain't hardly no one there.
I am in northwest Florida zone 8B that may be getting warmer. Even where you are in 8b can make a difference. One of our group is a few miles to south of me in Pensacola and there are a couple of degrees difference in low temps between us with me being a few more miles north in Pace, FL. If you are right on a bayou or the gulf the temperatures are even better for citrus and that will put you in zone 9. Most cold hardy citrus starts having problems below 26 F. But exactly at what temperature below 26 that will kill is not certain. The more mature Satsuma often survive at 20 F. Just do not be surprised if you lose one. Home owners like to plant the satsuma and grape fruit trees right next to the house on the south side. Every so often, we will get 15 F or colder in my area. Hopefully this global warming that the politicians are warning about will not let that happen in the future, but don't count on it and even less on the politicians.
Some people will cover the graft up with mulch with the hope of keeping it alive during a cold snap. I use to build a rack around my trees and for temps below 26, cover the rack with 6 mil clear plastic and spray water inside. The layer of ice forming on the trees is alright. Hurricane sally dropped a tree on it this year.
While technically illegal in Florida, one can plant a satsuma seed. That way even if the top gets killed may come back. Trouble is seed planted citrus take twice as long to yield.
I live in florida and federal and state quarantine laws are in effect and the nursery you quoted can not send any citrus trees to Florida. The greening disease already is present just about everywhere.
I do have a seed planted cold resistant tangerine that is an old school type that may give some fruit next year. I believe it the be: "Changsa" Mandarin
"The "Changsa" mandarin is perhaps most cold-hardy of all sweet orange species. The “Changsha” orange yields sweet, but insipid and seedy oranges that are a brilliant orange-red. It has survived temperatures as low as 4 F in Arlington, Texas. "Changa" mandarins are most cold-hardy if they are grown from seed. " My seeds came from a seed planted tree in Tallahassee that I think is Changsha. They are not as good as a satsuma.
I probably have said enough even though there is a lot more to say. More on Chansha: www.plantanswers.com/changsha.htm
Wow... thanks for all the good information.
And yes, I've seen temps vary a lot within 100 yards or so.
I bought a satsuma from Bob Wells that was a cold hardy variety and was very expensive but it died after the first winter here in Palestine.
How cold did it get?
Supposed to handle 20F temps.
I'm going to keep mine in the container till spring, then plant it.
If it's going to get real cold next winter, I'll try to protect it.
@@BIGALTX it probably got close to that but not sure anymore. It’s been 2-3 years. In fact I’ve never lost any fruit trees except from them, so far 3 but never one from Lowe’s. Ho figure. I’ve got over 30 fruit trees for about 5 years now
Buenas mandarinas interesante video. un saludo.
👍😎
Creo kson oranges
what is your soil mixture for the citrus tree in the tub? I was told not to put in a tub however i got a couple in a tub for test run. Seeing your success I would like to move forward with putting my other citrus trees in wicking tubs. BTW thank you for sharing the videos and knowledge!
I just use a product called BM7, but any potting soil should work OK.
It needs to have a high percentage of Peat in it... at least 50% or so.
Curious to see how that orange does in the ground, I have similar soil as you. I don’t have iron ore but rock hard clay and pea gravel. I cannot grow peaches. I do have figs, plums, pears, persimmons. I would love a orange in the ground for zone 8. I have picked and seen a lot of oranges in South Texas. Zone 9 in Texas has a few orange orchards. That persimmon you have is loaded! Mine are American Persimmon that I propagated myself from wild trees growing in Texas. Very long time for me to get any fruit. I might graft later on for more variety.
That particular persimmon is a Eureka. I also have Fuyu, Cheesecake, Chocolate and Giant Fuyu... they are all young.
hey where are the orange orchards? also they dont let you bring fruit from southern tx they have a checkpoint lol land of the slave.
Make some wine! A few years ago I got a bottle of homemade satsuma wine from a guy in Satsuma, Alabama. It was great. Not too sweet and just a touch tart.
I wouldn't have thought about that. thanks
Is Satsuma Alabama where the tree gets its name?
@@BIGALTX Not sure? I think the town was named after the orange. I only lived in that area for about a year and that was six years ago.
Did that Snow we got a couple months ago, effect the trees?
Yes, most of my fruit trees suffered. A few died.
However, I put this Satsuma Orange in my barn and saved it. If it had been outside, it would have died for sure.
Awesome
Thanks, Tambra!
How often do you feed them and what do you feed?
I usually give them 20-20-20 water soluble fertilizer once a month or so during the growing season
You could do a granular, like 13-13-13 around the inside rim once a month or so.
Not too much, maybe a few tablespoons
Do you have an Alma fig? Great fig for our zone
Yes I do!
I'll to a fig video soon.
We have over 130 varieties trying to determine which are best here in there ground in East Texas. Those Oranges look perfect 👍🏻
@@TheTexasBoys Thanks. I'm definitely happy with the tree considering how young it is.
Hey so I’m way down in Houston and I’m wondering if I can grow any oranges and spring is starting now so is it a good time to buy an orange tree or am I too late and also do you know anywhere else that I can buy an orange tree because the nursery you linked is mostly out of stock which is what’s making me think I’m too late but thanks!
I think Houston is a great zone for growing citrus.
The hard freeze we just got would have killed them (unless they were wrapped and protected), but these kinds of temperatures don't come but every 100 years or so.
There are a LOT of people in Houston growing citrus.
Call some of your local nurseries to find some.
What's with the tin foil on the next tree over? Reminds me of my old rabbit ear tv antenna!
Here's what I'm doing with the tin foil: th-cam.com/video/ch63_MQQETg/w-d-xo.html
And yes... my reception is GREAT 👍😎
What are the size of yours growing containers?
They are about 20 gallons

Here's my "Hybrid" tub: th-cam.com/video/radHBan7-BI/w-d-xo.html
Which orange tree is best for southeast texas? I live in lumberton tx.
You need to check with your local nursery, but... down that far south most any orange might work.
HOWEVER... Lots of folks lost citrus in Houston, etc in the big freeze of 2021, so keep that in mind
I just bought a 4 year old Mr Brown Satsuma and I was told to make sure it gets some shade…I’ve never known to give citrus some shade. Is there some truth to this? I am near Galveston, TX
I don’t know. I thought all citrus was full sun.
Only in TEXAS!
😎👍
Are they sweet oranges?
Yes, they were pretty good.
This was the first year the tree fruited, so they may get even better with age... not sure
Did it survive the Ice Age?
Yes... BUT... I took it in the barn when it got really cold.
If I had left it outside (or had it in the ground) I'm sure it would have died
Does he know it’s illegal to grow oranges in Texas?
It's not illegal to grow oranges in Texas.
It IS illegal to SHIP any citrus FROM Texas to other states.
Hope that clarifies it for you.
@@BIGALTX thanks so much for the clarification! I did not know that. That makes a lot more sense now. Thanks man! Love the channel!
@@abbaslion2
Thanks for the kind words!
this life is temporary and the very good news is that we have salvation by believing in Jesuchrist
Romans 10: 9 and 10 believe by faith in your heart and call on his name only he saves
nothing else does st jhon 3:16
I respect your faith but differ with you. Jesus christ was a prophet only like other prophets. its been proved beyond any doubt that Jesus did not die on cross. pl go and look on youtube
"Did Jesus Die" BBC Documentry. you can also look evidence in book "where did Jesus Die" You can also look at question answer session ( first question of session) on youtube:
"Question and Answer Session (Jalsa Salana UK, 31 July 1994) with Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad"
The apostles were THERE when Jesus was crucified for our sin.
They SAW it. They LIVED it.
They also saw the LIVING Christ a few days later.
All the apostles were willing to give their lives (and most did) proclaiming that Jesus not only died, but rose again.
Would anyone... anyone... be willing to give their lives for a LIE?
I'm not going to base my faith, my future or my eternity on a TH-cam video that "discredits" a Book that has changed my life, stood the test of time, AND has been the victim of MANY attempts to destroy it and it's message.
God has kept it intact for a reason.
You're welcome to believe what you want, but as for me... No thanks
