owari satsuma harvest
« on: November 04, 2019, 07:58:32 PM »
Despite having a pretty sparse canopy, my container Owari produced a relatively large crop for its size.  I have been sampling them since the first orange color appeared.  Today the ripest one was nearly full orange and a bit too sweet for me... as usual they were best half green.   I decided it was time to pick them all.

They are excellent.  Always seedless, and I've never had a bad one.  Even a few tiny under-developed ones tasted as good as the rest.  My only (minor) complaints are that they are harder to peel that some other mandarins, and I had to use scissors to pick them as they skin would rip if I used my hands.

Owari, is mature enough to eat while they are still pretty much green.

Keeping the soil dry makes them sweeter.
