Satsuma Naartjie Tree for Sale

The Satsuma Naartjie Tree is one of the most cold-hardy citrus varieties available and the perfect choice for South African gardeners in cooler regions who want to grow their own naartjies. The Satsuma – known in Japan as Unshu Mikan – is a beloved variety that produces abundant crops of sweet, seedless, easy-to-peel naartjies from early winter.

The Satsuma is a particularly special variety because it is one of the earliest-ripening naartjie types, bringing the joy of fresh naartjies to your table from as early as April or May. The fruit is sweet, juicy and virtually seedless – making it an absolute pleasure to eat, especially for children.

Growing your own Satsuma Naartjie Tree means you can enjoy fresh naartjies straight from the tree, knowing exactly what has gone into growing them. There is no comparison between a freshly picked naartjie from your own garden and one that has spent days in cold storage and transport!

The Satsuma Naartjie Tree is a compact, evergreen citrus tree with glossy, attractive foliage and wonderfully fragrant white blossoms. Its compact size and cold-hardiness make it suitable for a wider range of South African gardens than many other citrus varieties, and it grows very well in large containers on a sunny patio or balcony.

Our Satsuma Naartjie Trees for sale are grafted onto citrus rootstock, ensuring earlier and more consistent fruit production than seed-grown trees.
