About Satsuma Owari FS

Owari FS offers easy-peeling mandarins to enjoy segment by segment. Owari is one of the benchmark satsumas: the fruit is juicy and pleasant to eat fresh. It ripens after the very early satsumas such as Iwasaki or Okitsu, which helps spread the harvest. This selection therefore suits growers looking for a main-season satsuma rather than a very early variety, with more cold resistance than most classic mandarins offer.

Our observations at the nursery

At the nursery, Owari FS comes to maturity from late December to mid-January, after Okitsu. We observe good cold resistance. The fruit peels easily and is free of seeds.

Satsuma Owari FS or another variety?
