looks good! that prague is loaded. i have noticed puffier/larger and therefore older satsumas tend to get blander and drier the longer they hang on the tree so its a balance, probably wouldnt just go by color instead tasting one here and there to figure out when to pick
Very interesting. What a beautiful looking fruit! Was this one of your trees that died after a freeze and came back? Or has this one gone through your winters mostly unfazed?
Beautiful fruit! Great to see these growing well in your zone.
Yes with a little protection they have made it through 0F.

It has gone through them without die back. I was able to cover it better since it is small though.
That’s the most fruit I have personally seen on a Prague at one time! What rootstock is yours grafted to?
It is trifoliate or flying dragon.
Such a good variety of mandarin - greetings from Prague to fellow citrus grower
Thanks.
I had a couple of Prague last year on my tree (none this year) and to me they were indistinguishable from Satsuma.
To me they might have a little more sour to them but then again different kinds of Satsuma are different and how ripe they are.
