I've started eating the early variety Early St Anne after waiting 8 years for my satsuma trees to produce edible fruit. Not quite as sweet as they will get but sweet enough, green skin, and orange interior. What a wait! In past years I've been throwing out wheelbarrows full of puffy and dry fruit.

On the other hand, the navel oranges and grapefruit have good fruit almost from the first year. Fairchild mandarin and clementines have been a few years earlier in good fruit.

This is also my first year for panzarella oranges. They are already bigger than grapefruit and hang in large clusters. I topworked my wekiwa tangelo 2 years ago and the p orange part is 8 feet tall already. The rootstock is swingle which is pretty vigorous. They won't be ready for at least a month.

I didn't topwork a tree to panzarella lemon though as the lemons are mild tasting like a meyer lemon. I did however plant a 10 gallon seedless lemon(CCPP used to call it seedless lisbon), the grocery store type with the real lemon flavor. It's supposed to be a hardy as a meyer.

This year I'm topworking trees to chandler pumelo, cocktail grapefruit hybrid and w murcott afourier.

I picked changsha, kimbrough and mr. mac yesterday. I have miho and seto that are almost ready. Clemenules and page are starting to turn.

I had what was supposed to be a Panzarella orange that fruited last year. It tasted pretty good, but had more seed than a Changsha mandarin! Is Panzarella orange suppose to be that seedy?

LA Early satsumas are still mostly greenhere, but are already super sweet.

Ned I believe the Panzarella orange is always very seedy. I have one also, but has not fruited yet.
