Citrus made easy for growers, nurseries, and distributors
If you’re looking for a cold-hardy, easy-to-grow citrus tree that produces exceptionally sweet fruit, TreeSource Citrus Nursery offers the outstanding Owari Satsuma trees for sale.Also known as Frost Owari Satsuma, this premium variety is highly prized for its excellent flavor, early ripening season, and ability to thrive in cooler climates compared to other Mandarins. The Owari Satsuma is a must-have for gardeners who want reliable, delicious fruit even in areas with mild frosts.
The Frost Owari Satsuma produces small to medium-sized fruit with orange, smooth skin that is incredibly easy to peel. The flesh inside is juicy, tender, and seedless, making it a favorite for fresh eating, lunchboxes, and homemade juices. Because it ripens early — typically from October through December — you can enjoy sweet, homegrown citrus fruit just as the holiday season begins.

It can survive temperatures as low as the mid-20s (°F) once mature, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in cooler regions who still dream of harvesting their own citrus. With full sun, well-draining soil, and regular watering, the trees will thrive with minimal effort. Occasional light pruning and seasonal fertilization will keep your tree productive and healthy for many years.

Owari Satsuma Trees FAQs
Are Owari Satsuma trees cold-hardy, and what is the lowest temperature they can withstand?
Yes, all Satsumas are cold hardy, and since the fruit is commonly ripe before Christmas, it is often harvested before a hard freeze event. Once mature (older than 4 years), an Owari Satsuma tree can typically handle temperatures down to around 15°F to 20°F (-9°C to -6°C) without serious damage. Because of their cold hardiness, Owari Satsuma trees are a popular choice for growers in zones 8–10, and even parts of zone 7b with some winter protection.
When is the best season to order my Frost Owari trees?
TreeSource’s Availability List may show Owari Satsuma trees for sale year-round, but the best time to buy is spring and summer. For larger quantities, please order 6-12 months in advance.
What kind of fruit can I expect from Owari Satusuma trees in terms of taste, size, and appearance? How do they compare to other varieties of Mandarin oranges?
Ease of peeling and seedlessness make Frost Owari Satsumas unique when compared to many other Mandarins.
What are the key benefits of choosing Owari Satsuma trees for a commercial orchard?
Frost Owaris are obsolete in commercial orchards as they are over produced in the U.S. However, they make a great choice for backyard or direct marketing, but not for commercial plantings.
Do Owari Satsuma trees require cross-pollination, or can they self-pollinate?
No cross-pollination required. Owari Satsumas are parthenocarpic and self-fertile which is why they are seedless and they won’t cross pollinate other citrus.
