Arctic Frost Satsuma

The Arctic Frost Satsuma (Citrus unshiu 'Arctic Frost') is a cold-hardy citrus cultivar engineered for northern growing regions, thriving in USDA zones 8-11. This evergreen specimen reaches 8-12 feet tall with a 6-8 foot spread, making it suitable for containers and compact landscapes. Remarkably resilient to temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, it outperforms standard citrus varieties in cooler climates. Spring brings fragrant white blossoms that yield abundant seedless, easy-to-peel fruit with exceptional sweetness and juiciness, maturing from late fall through early winter. Position in full sun with well-drained soil and consistent moisture for optimal performance. Its ornamental appeal, pollinator-attracting flowers, and dual-purpose functionality as both productive tree and landscape feature make it an exceptional choice for diverse garden applications.
