Most all of my satsumas are coloring up & very sweet already.

Ryan,

they are bright yellow. Are they getting orange eventually? I will try making a picture tomorrow.

Here they are:

This is a record for me in northern California. My mihos are ripe now and they are delicious. They usually ripen around the first of the year, but a very early spring without any late frosts to damage the first growth flush has put me about 2 months ahead of time. I haven't been a big fan of satsumas in general, at least in this climate. They always seem either tart and lacking in sweetness, or flat and uninteresting. This year they have that classic mandarin sweet/tart contrast; delicious!

My Miyagaawa has been ripe for some time and is great, very sweet. All the others are good but the Miyagawa so far is the best.
