Early St. Ann Satsuma Tree 2–3 Ft Tall

Get one of the earliest satsuma harvests of the season with Early St. Ann Satsuma, an LSU AgCenter–released citrus variety developed for early ripening, strong production, and excellent fruit quality.

Early St. Ann is prized for producing medium to large satsuma mandarins that mature early in the season, often from early September through mid-October in Louisiana. The fruit has thin, light yellow skin, tender orange flesh, easy-separating segments, and a juicy flavor with a slight acid balance that gives it more character than basic sweet citrus.

These are grafted, established citrus trees — not seedlings — so you’re getting a true-to-type tree already set up for strong growth and future fruiting.
