Saint Ann Satsuma

St. Ann is a newer variety of Satsuma developed by L.S.U. from 1960 through the 1990s. It was developed primarily as a field Satsuma for the citrus industry. It is a very high yield, very early Satsuma, which will outproduce any other type 2 to 1. It was released to the citrus growers in Plaquemines Parish in 1993. 

 Any other Satsuma ( Owari, Brown Select, etc. ) will produce between 80 to 100 lbs. of fruit per bush. An established St. Ann should produce 150 to 200 lbs. per bush.This is a very bushy tree with lots of branches.

All early Satsumas  (Armstrong, Louisiana Early and Saint Ann) will produce fruit starting in August to the beginning of October. All late satsumas (Owari, Brown Select, Kimbrough) produce fruit in October to early December. If you are a Satsuma fan you should plant an early and a late Satsuma. Planting these two types will give you fruit for 3 months.

It is classified as a very early Satsuma producing fruit as soon as August and definitely in Sept. Saint Ann Satsumas are green on the outside in August, but ripe inside and can be picked green. I was only able to get 18 trees . They will sell out quick. Contact me soon if interested in high production. LSU describes the St. Ann as "tender and melting with excellent taste and flavor." All trees have had Satsumas on them and will produce some fruit this coming August. These are in 5 gallon pots at $30 each.

I have a few Saint Ann satsumas in 10 gallon pots about 2 1/2 years old for sale at $85 each.
