We compared our Page, Daisy and Satsuma fruits today. The Page was best, the Daisy second and satsuma last. The Page was tart a couple weeks ago, but now is sweet. Daisy was pretty good, just did not have the distinct flavor of Page, the satsuma was a little weak on the flavor in comparison--may be better in a few more weeks. Both Page and Daisy have tight peels.

I agree that a properly ripened Page is the best citrus I've ever tasted.

I've never tried a Daisy. Satsumas should be starting to come into their own about now.

.....Alan.

I'm going to have to get some budwood of the Page next spring.

David,

Page is very good! That is the great thing about citrus, there are so many different tastes that it is hard to pin down which is best.

I had another Daisy today--it has a nice tangerine taste. The Page I had earlier came from my lemon tree. I have transferred a Page bark graft to my Ponkan, so it may be even better when I get one from there. I still have several varieties that have not yet produced fruit, but maybe next year I can expand from 11 varieties of fruit to over 20.

page is one of my favorites. I t- budded a bunch of page last spring to a large citrumelo and some poncirus rootstock. I hope it does well. It was a vigorous grower over the summer.

I am not sure if I am remembering correctly, but it seems that the Page fruits I remember buying in LA had loose peels--like a satsuma. But the ones I am getting off of my lemon tree have a tight peel--not really that difficult to peel, but certainly not like a satsuma. What is you page like?

Mine is basically like a small orange.

That is the way these are Ned-- I think some roadside markets may be selling satsumas for more popular Page fruit--these are definitely better than satsumas.

I like Page, Ponkan, Juanita (very much like Ponkan) and Ambersweet. A good satsuma off of and old. estabished tree can be good too.

About the best satsuma I have had was off of a variegated tree Lazz gave me. I have had the plant in a pot for a couple of years, but it goes in the ground next spring. I would never have guessed the fruit would be so tasty. It also seems to hold on the tree better than my other satsumas too. Thanks Lazz!
