8 Mandarin fruits & a new subscriber !!!Nothing better than the tasty memories , mine was eating Mandarins @ my Grandmother's tiny white Home I'm a little town surrounded by huge mountains , waterfalls and the best Fjord I have ever seen. Vik Norway Sogne Fjord 🌎 ⛄️🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊⛄️
Awesome. I have one in a half whiskey barrel here near New Orleans. It’s two years old and full of blooms. Only made 4-5 fruit last year, but looks to be bountiful this year. I will thin it out if necessary here this year. Love your videos!
Good luck to you! I am in Lubbock and after tasting my Miho Satsuma Mandarin I knew I wanted it in ground it was so good. So I built a winter lean-to greenhouse against a shed that I could easily disassemble in the spring every year. This is it's first winter and so far so good 👍 Can't wait for spring 😀
@@natbackyardgarden Thanks! I am giving it the old college try 👍 These cold hardy Mandarins are definitely worth it. Taste way better than you'd expect 😋
Excellent video love the enthusiasm!!! We’re in North Texas and love citrus as well just got my wife a Blood Orange and same as you I don’t tell her what they cost or she wouldn’t talk to me for a month. Hard finding Citrus beyond your typical lemons and limes here in Texas since we can’t have any shipped here.
Haa thanks...just tell them it's for the kids!! You guys in the panhandle north or Dallas area? If Dallas, then Bob wells Nursery have a good selection of citrus trees and plants! Also, the Samsclub down there usually sells citrus every spring so check them out for more selections. I also ordered a blood orange and it's currently lost in transit for almost two weeks now....so who know what will happen. Can't wait to make a video on it...dead or alive haaha.
I also grow these in Pennsylvania 6b and they are delicious! I bring it in my garage over the winter and put back out in the spring. Well worth the investment. I would recommend a Blood orange tree also. Very fast growing and fruit in the 1st year! I also grow lemon lime and kumquat trees! It can be done! Great job!
That is a shiranui , not an owari . The shiranui is very expensive and very tasty . Other names are sumo citrus and dekopan . The humps on top of each fruit is why I say this . Owari is round .
You know what...I think you might be correct! I research more into that variety and it fit the descriptions! I thought nothing of the hump/nipple due to its first year bearing fruit, but we will know for sure next time it bear fruits! Well....now here is my next excuse for another mandarin tree...haa.
They both about the same . I have both and a grower in my local area told me he can protect them down to 14 degrees if it ever became necessary with micro sprinklers . A mature tree can take 18 to 20 degrees if they are fairly dormant but fruit would be ruined at those temperatures. Young trees need to be protected at 20 or below . We rarely get below 20 here in South Georgia north Florida area . Micro sprinklers have to be set up correctly or they don’t work and will cause more damage to tree than unprotected. Grower has a very large acreage of these trees and he knows the science behind it . I tried the sumo that he sells and my wife and agreed it was the best tasting citrus we had ever eaten !
@@yochanontheseeker1942 I have both as well. My 5 year old in ground Owari survived a couple nights in the mid teens two years ago ( no damage at all) with no protection other than a fence on the north side. My Decopon is still young and in a large pot but it made it unprotected last winter. Lows dipped to around 18f. Minor damage to the branch tips.
You should definitely try to get your hand on one of these cold hardy citrus satsuma! Our weather here get down to -2 ish once a year during winter, but as long as you have a greenhouse or a sun room, it's very feasible to grow it!
New subscriber here my friend! I’m in Zone 8A in Fort Worth, TX and I currently have (3) citrus 🍊 trees but I’ll be picking up a satsuma orange tree tomorrow to add to your collection. Mine will be out in my backyard orchard in as big of a pot as I can find to go along with my other fruit trees but I appreciate you for sharing your video. The one I’m getting is currently in a 3.5 gallon pot from Calloway’s Nursery. Stay blessed sir! -Calvin
I got a Brown Select Satsuma from Calloways a month ago; it's a stick that divides into two at the top still very young $60. Everything is high right now.
@@MsLinjohn I love me some Calloway’s but you have to get on their email list so you can receive those 30% off promo’s. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and go ahead and make the purchase at full price depending on how in demand the item is.
@@SowGoodGardener bought so many fruits from them last Month.. persimmon was $80, Hosui pear $60, and few days ago a Loring Peach for $50 ... I'm sooo excited about the Loring Peach! I need to get on that email list you are talking about
@@MsLinjohn most definitely!!! I bought my Fuyu persimmon tree from there too and made a video on it. It was $80 as well but I jumped on it even without the coupon. It’s already loaded with fruit. I’ll have to do an updated video on it very soon. I feel good about making that investment because the fruit is soooo expensive to buy.
Nice to see how excited you are about your tree! We can grow citrus easily here in California Bay Area zone 10a. I have several mandarin, tangerine, and lemon trees.
Yes I really love all the plants that we grow because we grow all the stuff that we loveeee to eat! Envious of your location...when I was in Sacramento for a short while...everyone basically grow citrus like weeeds lol.
Ye it was just as advertise! Was delayed in shipping for almost a week but was as healthy as can be. Not sure of what gallons size, but I order it on Etsy as a 4-5ft tall tree!
I ordered it from a seller on Etsy! But I guess they sent the wrong tree...as this might be a shiranui instead of an owari satsuma. I would check Doan's nursery in irving and perphaps Calloway and plenty of other nurseries down there that you have available to you.
@@natbackyardgarden I found my satsuma @ Calloway. They usually run low on citrus around March, so make sure you go in April to get your tree. I know so because I collect them lol.
Yup definitely Not an Owari Satsuma. OS has a flat shape with little to no knob. There’s a good chance they sent you a Shiranui which is not a bad mistake 👍🏼 also OS has weeping branches and sometimes square branches when young.
I have a true Sumo variety that is currently blooming, so I will be able to compare the two and see the differences or similarity by year end hopefully.
This guy can get fruit even in zone 1, the love he is bestowing on that plant, even if the plant wanted die, wouldn’t die.
So cool that you also included the clips from winter and july
Great video. I just got one myself and this makes me happy to see the joy this tree brings you and your family
Excellent vid! I love your enthusiasm and humor. Gonna check out more of your uploads...

Thanks for the knowledge Uncle
How😎we added these to the Backyard Fruit Forest, exciting to see such a successful harvest 👍🏽

I went to Tech there a long while ago! Saw your video of it! Very ingenious and should work well with that nice heater n cover.

Nice video!! We love mandarin. Looks like everyone is buying this tree. Hehehe I want one too now
Hahaa yes definitely go grab one or two!
8b Olympic Peninsula-just got some in my greenhouse-I’ll be dancing-oh I’ll be dancing!
I also grow these in Pennsylvania 6b and they are delicious! I bring it in my garage over the winter and put back out in the spring. Well worth the investment. I would recommend a Blood orange tree also. Very fast growing and fruit in the 1st year! I also grow lemon lime and kumquat trees! It can be done! Great job!
Thanks for the recommendation! Will definitely look into getting a blood orange tree. Kumquat would be nice to add also haha. They be great for tea!
Which blood orange? I’ve heard the Maro is great!
@@yochanontheseeker1942 it is the Moro blood orange 🍊
That is a shiranui , not an owari . The shiranui is very expensive and very tasty . Other names are sumo citrus and dekopan . The humps on top of each fruit is why I say this . Owari is round .

Which one is more cold hardy, do either of you know? I’m in PNW Washington and want one I can put in ground after a couple years in the greenhouse.
They both about the same . I have both and a grower in my local area told me he can protect them down to 14 degrees if it ever became necessary with micro sprinklers .

Im from Sac! lol FUnny video, thanks for sharing!
I would be so excited to have that plant.

@@natbackyardgarden I'll be on the look out for one. Thanks
bruh...same with that wife comment haha just got one.
You should try the meiwa kumquat. It can be grown in containers and it's cold hardier than the satsuma.

*Say something, Don’t embarrass me in front of all these people*
I love your green house po im planning to have green house for my citrus here in minnesota im live in zone5b sometimes even summer is cold
I know that feeling everytime i seen my vegetable and fruit plant😂
Nice to see how excited you are about your tree! We can grow citrus easily here in California Bay Area zone 10a. I have several mandarin, tangerine, and lemon trees.
Yes I really love all the plants that we grow because we grow all the stuff that we loveeee to eat! Envious of your location...when I was in Sacramento for a short while...everyone basically grow citrus like weeeds lol.
On my citrus list.
Tree looks really healthy on delivery.
How many gallons is the tree? And
where online did you order from?
Ye it was just as advertise! Was delayed in shipping for almost a week but was as healthy as can be. Not sure of what gallons size, but I order it on Etsy as a 4-5ft tall tree!
Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you here in Lubbock during this latest cold front!
Hahahaha thanks! Last year polar vortex has me well prepare this time around!! My greenhouse struggle to hold 32F once it reaches 0-5 haha.
I'm in the DFW and wanted to find a shiranui tree, where did you get it?? Enjoying your videos!!
I ordered it from a seller on Etsy! But I guess they sent the wrong tree...as this might be a shiranui instead of an owari satsuma. I would check Doan's nursery in irving and perphaps Calloway and plenty of other nurseries down there that you have available to you.
@@natbackyardgarden I found my satsuma @ Calloway. They usually run low on citrus around March, so make sure you go in April to get your tree. I know so because I collect them lol.
Where did you get the greenhouse, or where can I find the plans?
Look up Txprepper2, he has a video that details the construction of one pretty well!
15 dollar for each in vietnam. Cant wait to taste.
15 dollars for each mandarin fruit or tree?
Yup definitely Not an Owari Satsuma. OS has a flat shape with little to no knob.
There’s a good chance they sent you a Shiranui which is not a bad mistake 👍🏼 also OS has weeping branches and sometimes square branches when young.
where can you buy them, I'm having a hard time finding any availability
Local would be your best bet if available. If not then Etsy is where I found mine!
I’ve been trying to find one do you remember where you got yours?
I got through a user on Etsy that shipped it to me.
Where you bought the Sumo?
I think they accidently mislabel the sumo as an owari and send me that. I got it through Etsy.
Where did you buy the tree?
Etsy!
I dont think this tree is Owari. Looks to be possibly Sumo, Tangelo or Gold Nugget.
I have a true Sumo variety that is currently blooming, so I will be able to compare the two and see the differences or similarity by year end hopefully.
looks like sumo mandarin
so how much was the tree?thx
Was 100ish with shipping included.
@@natbackyardgarden That's actually not bad for a tree that size!
the longer you let them stay on the tree, he sweeter they become and the less sour they taste.
Yup definitely! We left them hanging until late December here in zone 7 and man oh man it was sweet and splendid!
Where did you order from
Etsy believe it or not! Could not find it at any local nurseries for where I am at.
@@natbackyardgarden oh wow! I’m in dallas, tx and I just got the artic frost satsuma today which is even more cold hardy
@@genejaytre where did you order from?
@@atillathehanh2839 I bought it from a nursery in Houston called JRN Nursery. The best prices but you can’t order online
So how much did you pay for it?
If I remember correctly, 110ish including shipping.
@@natbackyardgarden it's a nice tree. I just bought a satsuma Orange at a local nursery but it's like 5 in tall
Is your container a laundry basket?
Haha yes somewhat! It is a 17 gallon tote for storing toys. Holding up perfectly fine for 3 years now and will be uppotting in the near future.
@@natbackyardgarden I am planning to use laundry baskets to hold my orange trees next year.
hello from germany
can you me sent a little dekopon tree to germany ? i pay you the tree.
best regards friedrich
howz sumo as compared to Gold Nugget
Have not try gold nugget before. Sorry.
That's not an owari
Sorry, but yours tree isn't an owari satsuma! lol
Kakaka yep...found that out through the comments.
I e seen these grown in ground zone 8a. Checkout millennial gardener on YT
