Satsuma mandarins are the most consumed fruit by Japanese people. They call them Mikan or Unshu.
\nSatsuma is the name of the ancient Japanese province where the tree has been selected and cultivated since the 16th century.
\nOne million saplings were exported by sea in the early 20th century for planting in Florida.
\nThe Owari variety is the most widespread in large plantations.<\/p>\n
Harvesting is fairly early, from November or December, depending on the climate. <\/p>\n The Owari tree is very vigorous and productive, thornless and weeping.<\/p>\n References: (Citrus unshiu) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4735,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[46],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-630","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-not-classified","7":"pa_taille-great","8":"pa_taille-medium","9":"pa_taille-small","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-variable","15":"has-default-attributes"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpagrumi.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpagrumi.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpagrumi.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpagrumi.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpagrumi.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpagrumi.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpagrumi.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpagrumi.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpagrumi.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThe fruit is juicy, with few seeds, and is easy to peel.
\nIt is often ripe<\/span> when the peel is still partially green.
\nHarvesting begins when the fruit is less hard and yields slightly to the fingers.
\nThe fruit is then soft and sweet, with an intense mandarin aroma.<\/p>\n
