Okitsu Wase Satsuma

15-28" Okitsu Wase Satsuma

Fruit somewhat more oblate than Miyagawa, but averages higher in sugar content and matures a week or so earlier.  Trees also more vigorous. Okitsu originated as a nucellar seedling of Miyagawa from a controlled pollination with Poncirus trifoliata made by Doctors M. Kajiura and T. Iwasaki at the Horticultural Research Station, Okitsu, in 1940.
