Satsuma Mandarin Orange Tree ‘Frost Owari’ (Citrus unshiu)

‘Frost Owari’ is a favorite satsuma mandarin with medium-size, deep orange fruit that are seedless, sweet and juicy with easy-to-peel skin. Originating in Japan, it’s a vigorous grower and highly productive fruit tree. It makes an ideal container plant for northern growers since it only reaches 10-15’ tall in outdoor gardens but can be maintained at a much shorter height in containers. The fruit starts to ripen in late fall and it’s usually ready for harvest in early winter. Satsuma mandarins are cold hardy citrus being able to withstand temperatures into low 20s°F and even into the teens for mature plants. This is a grafted plant that blooms and fruits sooner.
