Aoshima Satsuma Orange Grafted Healthy Fruit Plant

Late-Season Maturity: Unlike many other Satsuma varieties that ripen in early autumn, the Aoshima is a late-ripening cultivar. The fruit typically reaches its peak maturity from late November through January, extending the citrus harvest season.

Fruit Size and Shape: The fruit is notably larger than the standard Owari Satsuma. It has a characteristic oblate (flattened) shape and a smooth, thin, bright orange rind that is "zipper-skinned," making it incredibly easy to peel.

Superior Flavor Profile: Aoshima is famous for its high sugar content and balanced acidity. It produces a deeply sweet, rich flavor with melting, seedless flesh, making it one of the most palatable mandarins available.

Tree Habit and Hardiness: The trees have a vigorous, spreading growth habit and are known for their high productivity. Like most Satsumas, the Aoshima is quite cold-hardy, often surviving temperatures down to approximately -7°C (20°F) once established.

Excellent Storage Life: One of its standout commercial traits is its shelf stability. The fruit stores remarkably well on the tree and maintains its firm texture and juice quality for several weeks after being picked, which is longer than many earlier Satsuma varieties.
