Choose a planting site with well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth, then backfill and water thoroughly. For container growing, use a large pot with drainage holes and a quality citrus potting mix. Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Protect young trees from frost, and fertilize with a citrus-specific fertilizer according to package directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrune lightly to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches. Watch for common citrus pests such as aphids and scale, and treat as needed with horticultural soap or oil. With proper care, your satsuma tree can become a productive and attractive addition to your home garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne live Satsuma Orange Tree seedling, approximately 4-10 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836003746102,"sku":"FOLIA2-1672","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6452587884_nbzo.jpg?v=1793097113","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/satsuma-orange-tree-live-seedling-4-10-inch-sweet-citrus-plant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
