The Okitsu Mandarin Tree is a popular variety of satsuma mandarin that is known for its early ripening fruit, with an easy-to-peel skin. The fruit is a medium to large size, with a bright orange skin when fully ripe. The flesh of the Okitsu satsuma mandarin is juicy and sweet, with a low acid content. The fruit is easy to peel, and the segments separate easily.
The tree is vigorous and compact, growing to a height of 3-4m. Okitsu, like all citrus, is self-fertile, so it does not require a pollinator to produce fruit. The Okitsu mandarin tree is relatively cold hardy and can tolerate temperatures down to -3 degrees Celsius. This makes it a good choice for growers in areas with cool winters. However, it is important to protect the tree from frost damage, as the fruit can be damaged if it is exposed to heavy frost and snow.
When looking for a mandarin for the family, or a beautiful specimen tree Okitsu is a great option.
