We have bought hundreds of trees from Bob Wells, Ed and Rachel are great people. Have you been to their new facility in Mineola?

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.

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!

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

you should plant it in ground for optimal growth

Bob wells is my favorite. I just drive the 1.5 hr and get my trees

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.

Great video thanks for sharing....I'm looking to add more citrus in my garden you give good advice!

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 😁).

Buenas mandarinas interesante video. un saludo.

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

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.

Those sure look yummy! I was just thinking about canning some mandarins. I wish I could grow them here in Idaho!

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!

What are the size of yours growing containers?

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

Which orange tree is best for southeast texas? I live in lumberton tx.

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.

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.

How often do you feed them and what do you feed?

Did that Snow we got a couple months ago, effect the trees?

Do you have an Alma fig? Great fig for our zone

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!

What's with the tin foil on the next tree over? Reminds me of my old rabbit ear tv antenna!

Awesome

Only in TEXAS!

Are they sweet oranges?

Did it survive the Ice Age?

Does he know it’s illegal to grow oranges in Texas?

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
