Galli's article is outstanding - thanks
Brad, my Citrus Man,
what's the difference between a Cutie clementine and a satsuma mandarin orange? Both are appearing on the market shelves here in grey, cold, rainy Oregon and are little promises of sunshine. Do you have a preference? Please expound. : )
"Cutie" is the marketing label that they've recently slapped on clementines. Clementines are small seedless (unless the bees cross pollinate) mandarins. They're very good -- just ate one a few minutes ago.
SATSUMAS, another variety of mandarin, ARE MY FAVORITE CITRUS. They're slightly larger than clementines, really easy to peel, a bit more oil in the skin, and they taste so good.
I grew satsumas in California and Texas but they don't do as well in the extended heat here in Arizona. You could probably grow them in Oregon in a half-barrel that gets wheeled into the garage on the really cold nights.
