Orange Frost Hardy Satsuma
Sanddollarmoon:
Hi, I am new to Citrus. When I was at walmart the other day I was pleasently surprised to see hardy satsumas for sale at Walmart. Many were bearing fruit, however I sacrificed productivity for size and bought an approximately two foot specimen, labeled ‘Orange Frost’ Hardy Satsuma.
Reading up on the variety, I found it to be a 2014 Texas Superstar. Anyone else growing it or it's sister variety, Arctic Frost?

I'm growing it in a container. I just bought it this year. I would love to find one at my walmart for trial outside, considering I paid $60 for one at Pikes.

I doubt it can be successfully grown outside where you live.

I am, planted in the spring. It's taking off like a ruptured goose. I'll get a pic of it and post it. Supposed to be cold hardy down to 10F.

Zone 7a, no way.
Leave it up to Walmart to sell what won't work for the local community. I see plant material for sell, fruits trees for example, that will fail in our area. They're just not suited in more ways than one.
