I finally got my order thru McKenzie Farms via Greg n. He had them for some time and we got together last weekend for me to pick them up. So finally from South Carolina to Vancouver Island are, Changsha mandarin, Ten degree tangerine, and Owari satsuma. I'll have to grab my camera for a pic. The Owari is leaning a bit but I'm a bit reluctant to top it. These will be planted although with a winter structure to fend off the relentless rain in that season and periodic cold.

Cheers, Barrie.

Here they are L to R are Changsha mandarin, Ten degree tangerine and Owari satuma. I'm wonderin' about topping the Owari since it's top growth is leaning quite a bit. Any ideas?

Cheers, Barrie.

They look great Barrie. Satsumas tend to grow like that. I would stake it up and let it do its thing fore a while. If you want more side growth, just cut the tip off & then let it go.

Hey Laaz ... that's what I was figuring too. Maybe a tomato cage around it for the time being to see how it adjusts. Thanks for the advice!

Cheers, Barrie.
