You are very welcome !

It is a seedling grown by accidence in the garden of the Nuns of Saint Domenicus in Florence.

It is a small tree with big dark green leafes and big fragant flowers.
The fruits are big, pear shaped, very juicy and have a delicious flavour and aroma.

I'll contact the good Sisters of Saint Domenicus and ask for some seeds. That is how I obtained the seed for my Saint Dominic Sour Orange from Italy.. - MIllet

Millet,
I didn't see your post. I have a Early St. Ann's Satsuma. It ripens in Sept.
Send me your address.

They have been edible for a couple of weeks now. I have a friend just north of me that has several trees that has large satsumas and are really good. Do not know the variety.

Millet did you have any luck contacting the Sisters? If so could you please pass me their contact info so that I could also get some seeds of this lovely variety? I seem to remember another thread mentioning this variety but I can't find it. If I recall correctly the Saint Dominic Lemon/Citron is very large and gives a litre of juice per fruit?

The Sisters are a restricted Catholic religious order of Nuns, and the members do not correspond with the outside world. I do not feel good about passing out any information on contacting them. The Saint Dominic citrus tree is a Sour Orange, and not a lemon. At the time I contacted them, I was able to contact a particular Nun, but by a long round about way. - Millet 97
