	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Satsuma (fruit)
		The fruit is juicy and very sweet, low in acid, and almost seedless, with an average of only 1.5 seeds per orange.
		The fruit from a young tree averages 1.8 inches in diameter, approximately three-quarters the size of a tennis ball.
		With its smooth, thin, lightly attached skin, satsumas have become known as the "kid-glove or zipper-skin citrus" due to the ease with which the skin can be removed and internal segments separated.

	Home Fruit Production
		Mandarin fruit tend to "plug" when pulled from the tree, i.e., a piece of the peel tears loose from the fruit and remains attached to the stem.
		Plugging is inconsequential for fruit that is to be used immediately upon harvest--but it is preferable to use hand pruning shears to clip the fruit from the tree to avoid damage.

		The fruits are spherical or egg-shaped and have 8-14 juicy sections containing large, white or greenish seed leaves (cotyledons).
		This fruit is very tender, maybe the least resistant to winter temperatures of all the Citrus fruits because of its continuous growth tendency.
		The fruit is orange or reddish-orange with a rind that is rough, strong scented and bitter.

		While satsumas can shake off a night at 18 degrees with no ill effects, and in fact need relatively cold weather to do their best, clementines can take more heat.
		Because its fruit was considered too small, it was passed over by the earlier generation of citrus scientists.
		The so-called Pixie-like is in a race with another exciting fruit – a cross between a pomelo and a blood orange – to be the next release.

	Survey shows satsuma preferences
		The satsuma research effort, funded largely by grants from the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries and the federal government, is unusual because it focuses not only on production issues but also on the marketing aspect of a potential new specialty crop for Alabama, AU ag economist and survey director Bob Nelson said.
		Although satsumas ripen from the inside out and often are still green-skinned even though they are ripe and ready to eat, only 19 percent of survey respondents said they would purchase green satsumas.
		Satsumas, introduced to the U.S. from Japan in the late 1800s, are small, sweet, seedless mandarin oranges with thin, loose-fitting skin that makes them a breeze to peel.

		Satsumas are commonly grown along the Gulf Coast in zone 8B, where they need some protection only during the very coldest nights, maybe once every 5-10 years on average.

		They are all in the Mandarin family Satsuma mandarins may have originated in China or Japan but it was first reported in Japan more than 700 years ago where it is now the major cultivar grown.
		Even though the Satsuma is one of the coldest resistant tangerines, the occasional severe freezes in Florida and Texas have reduced the Satsuma to a cultivar of minor importance in those growing regions.

		Satsuma fruit quality on trifoliate rootstocks is very good, but the trees grow slowly and yields, especially in the early producing years of the orchard, are usually significantly less on a trifoliate compared to a citrange.
		Satsuma fruit from trees on lemon-type rootstocks is usually not as sweet or as juicy as that on trifoliate or the citrange rootstocks.
