Seedless Mandarins tho widely grown in CA for awhile, are not as commonly seen in Florida.  Wondering what peoples experience has been with them in South Florida and if they flavor up and stay sweet & juicy in Florida hot summers.  There are some varieties of citrus that perform well in CA, but can be dry & pithy in Florida.

Blessed be the man who plants a tree knowing he will never live to enjoy it's fruit or shade.

I grow Ponkan Mandarin., For a mandarin they are quite large, but they are not seedless. I used to also grow Kishu but their problem is they are much much to small to peel and bother with. - Millet

I have several satsumas plus Dekopon(Sumo). Kishu is small but very productive and great flavor.Xie Shan satsuma is also great.

I have read that most Satsumas require some cool weather to get their best flavor, therefore they tend to grow best along the upper gulf coast.
