We harvested our first crop of oranges this year from our Satsuma Mandarin Orange tree. I purchased the orange tree when I returned from a long-term consulting project in Rome, Italy.
I wanted to plant the tree as a reminder of my work there, since I frequented a large grove of orange trees just a short walk from my office.
After three years of watching and waiting, we finally got oranges! We shared some with family, neighbors, and friends, and enjoyed the rest.
Some of the oranges were sweet and juicy, a few were dry and tasteless, but all of them were so much fun to pick off of the tree!
