I have not let the nippon orangequats hang on the tree but it is my least favorite of all. It is nio much more than just a sour fruit.

I have now lost most of the 20 or so mature citrus trees I have planted over the years. I am afraid to due to HRB I have planted my last citrus tree. From everything I have read the experts are really no closer to finding a cure or solution than they were at the beginning.http://nwdistrict.ifas.ufl.edu/phag/2017/05/19/uf-sugar-belle-citrus-variety-more-tolerant-to-greening/
Please give me one good reason to still plant citrus. I am afraid HRB has won and no cure will be found in my lifetime. I will continue to plant other fruit trees, but sadly I think I will never plant another citrus tree again. Anyone want to try and convince me otherwise?
Hi Will,
Where did you brought the Xie Shan Satsuma?
This one is in my most wanted list.
Thanks,

Bayer Advanced tree & shrub treatment.
I have the same problem with my trees. Since they are fruit hanging on the tree, I'll choose to ignore..
Is "Bayer Advanced tree & shrub treatment" safe during the fruit season?
Just had my first taste of "Australian" mulberry. The tree is barely 3ft tall and was dormant until the last maybe 6-7 weeks. Looking at google images they are similarly shaped and ripe colored like "White Shahtoot". They were delicious. Very sweet and delicate with a hint of melon/cantaloupe. Got it from TopTropicals so who knows what it really is.
Got my trees today and already have them in the ground. Had to go pick them up from carrier or they would have stayed in truck all day and night until tomorrow. These are not quite as big as the ones I usually get, but nice looking trees. Let us know what you think when yours arrive. I have always enjoyed dealing with Brite Leaf.

Sugar Belle: Sugar Belle was derived from a Clementine x Minneola Honey Belle cross. This mandarin hybrid is perhaps the most cold hardy of all non-satsumas in our trial. It produces a very attractive, bell-shaped fruit that is very high in sugar. It also is slightly higher in acid than is optimal. Fruit can have quite a few seeds when grown in a mixed block with citrus that can serve as pollinizers. Ripening date is November thru December. Sugar Belle could be considered for north Florida.
