 I have a Satsuma Mandarin tree in my front garden. The most

wonderful fruit, though it varies how much it produces, we relish

each and every one. The good thing is, the foothills near us have

several ranches who grow the Satsuma Mandarins, so they are readily

available here in my part of northern Calif.

Funny, we have a lot of satsuma trees here in SETexas and before moving here I had never heard of them. I grew up in NETexas and we call them Tangarines. Had to learn a different language.

My tree has been in the ground for over a decade now and is about 6

can be trimmed some to keep them somewhat the size you want.

I bet you could order one. Check online or check a nursery near you

who might be willing to order one. Mine tolerates cold down into the

high 20's at times, and heat up in triple digits in summer. Mine is

in a L shaped corner near the house so is protected a bit, but

likely warmer in your greenhouse. Only problem I see is pollination,

necessary for fruiting. Most citrus can be pruned, just as long as

you keep the graft intact you are good. All my citrus are grafted

and the only citrus I have not had good luck with his limes. First

one of two died, then finally, after fruiting for almost a decade,

the last one died. It was a terrible dry summer and the lemons were

ok, but the lime just did not make it even when watered.
