This Citrus is also due to Howard Frost, but nurseries have long dropped his name from the title:

Frost Owari Satsuma Mandarin

I planted this Frost Owari Satsuma Mandarin in July last year. It flowered in the late Fall and now those fruit sets are about ready for harvest. There are also fruit sets from flowering this April which will certainly ripen next year. [image]

Can you elaborate on your snail problem Richard?

I believe they are coming under the fence from next door. I put down Sluggo regularly but sometimes they beat me to the punch. The Lemon and Lime trees adjacent to it are snail free!

How often do you irrigate and what do you fertilize with and how often?

Spring through Fall I try to maintain about 70 gallons per week. I fertilize all my fruit trees with Grow More 16-8-24 but also supplement the Citrus with 21-7-7.
