About Satsuma Owari FS
Owari is one of the benchmark satsumas. The fruit peels easily, is juicy and pleasant to eat fresh. It ripens after the very early satsumas such as Iwasaki or Okitsu, which helps spread the harvest. Like the other satsumas, it is especially useful wherever you want a good-quality mandarin with more cold resistance than most classic mandarins offer.
