Just had a feast of Silverhill satsumas, I think these are the best tasting satsumas I have this year. Great old line satsumas!

Your the second person in as many days to say that
their Silverhills are the best of this years crop. I talked with Bonnie Childers yesterday to get his advice on cultivar selection and he recommened Silverhill as good one to plant, stating that it was the best at his place this year. I have never heard of them or seen them for sale anywhere. How old are yours and where do you think a fellow could locate some plants.

Funny you say that, Bonnie is the one that sent me the budwood about 8 years ago along with Brown Select & quite a few others. Are you allowed to receive trees from SC? I'll be budding up a bunch of satsumas in the spring.

Well, I don't know if I can receive citrus from S.C. or not, but a varigated lisbon lemon rode home with me from the Citrus Expo on Sat.

Maybe we could work up a trade, I have a couple of newer releases that you might be interested in.

Laughing That varigated lisbon lemon (Sungold) is one I donated to the raffle. They are excellent quality lemons.
