Owari Satsuma

jim VH:
It depends a lot on when the warm arrives. Here in the American Pacific Northwest, as the local joke goes, summer starts on July fifth and ends the Friday before Labor day. Some years that's actually true. So, my Owari didn't bloom until mid-May and it never got ripe, which is why I eventually exposed it to the frost gods to test its hardiness. (18 Fahrenheit, in case you care). Short season Satsumas, like LA Early or Okitsu do manage to ripen here. They all need winter protection, even in a zone 8b.

I am just trying to figure out how to get my owari satsuma to give me decent fruit by Thanksgiving.  So they would probably need to set blossom in Mid-March....What day/night temps do you need to achieve to get the trees to bloom? If indeed you provide artrifical heat/light...In other words what temps are needed for Owari's to set flowers?

MY non kumquat citrus start blooming in January indoors under 16 hours of lamp light and 5 hours of sun light.
