Citrus and other exotic plants | New England

The Brown Select Satsuma Tree has a crown covered with glossy, dark green, broadly lance-shaped, fragrant leaves and is cold hardy. This citrus tree produces fragrant white blooms with fruit concentrated in clusters on or along the branches. The satsuma fruit are medium to large sized, sweet tasting, and juicy.

The hand of Buddha, is part of the citrus. It is a variety of citron tree whose huge fruits are very decorative and fragrant. In Asia, its fruits are used as a good luck charm, or to perfume homes or clothes. Indeed, besides its surprising shape, this fruit is particularly aromatic. In France, the hand of Buddha is a beautiful decorative tree, whose fruits can be used in cooking.

Citrus fruit of small development, rarely exceeding the 2 m in culture. Its large leaves are light green, with a little winged petiole, whose axil is spiny. The flowers are grouped, cream inside, and washed of purple outside. Rather large for a citrus fruit, they are deliciously perfumed. The flowers are self-fertilizing, one Buddha hand plant is enough to obtain fruits.

The fruits grow for months and become very big, the size of a pineapple, showing a strong digitation. They are green and take 3 months to ripen and turn yellow on the tree. These fruits have very little flesh, they are not juicy, do not contain seeds, are not very acid and not very bitter. They are interesting for their skin, or zest, produced in large quantities and aromatic. A potted citron tree with several citrus fruits in the shape of Buddha's hand is particularly attractive.

This citrus fruit is one of the coldest, and outside of some Mediterranean regions that do not freeze, the Buddha hand is grown as a winter garden plant, in a large pot, maintaining a minimum winter temperature of 5°C. We can winter it in a cool room and take it out on the terrace during the summer. Coming from a tropical environment, Citrus medica 'Digitata' needs 4 to 5 hours of sunlight per day. However, the Buddha's hand does not support the strong heat, nor the dryness.

The Buddha's hand is planted in a mixture for citrus. This Citrus likes rich and organic soil. It is given citrus fertilizer every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the season. The rhythm of watering depends on the temperature: an important contribution of water which wets completely the substrate, but by removing the excess in the saucer, because the citron tree does not support to have the feet in water. Between each watering, the soil must not dry out completely.

In a greenhouse or conservatory, insects are few and far between, and you can replace their role as pollinators with a fine brush. You will collect the pollen, and then coat the pistils with it. This will result in more fruit.

The 4 seasons lemon tree, or 'Eureka' comes from a culture in California dating from 1858. Today it is perhaps the most commonly sold variety in specialty stores. This lemon tree is less vigorous and smaller than the other varieties, which makes it easier to grow in pots. It is said to have 4 seasons, because its flowering, and therefore its fruiting, can be spread out, but also because the fruit keeps particularly long on the tree.

Their leaves are large, lanceolate, with sometimes winged petioles, aromatic. Its branches are relatively thorny especially when it is young. The flowers can appear almost all year long, but with a peak of bloom in spring however, which will give fruits at the end of winter. The perfumed flowers are white to pink, with 5 waxy petals. It attracts pollinating insects. It produces a juicy, good-tasting, acidic lemon with few seeds. Sensitive to the cold. 

Height at maturity: 6-7 feet.

Harvest: multiple.

The flowering is magnificent with its bouquets of giant flowers powerfully perfumed. The fruit, generally spherical, more or less flattened, sometimes pear-shaped, measures between 10 and 30 cm in diameter; it can weigh from 500 grams to 8 kilograms, which makes it the most voluminous citrus fruit. Covered with its enormous fruits it is especially decorative and impressive. It is therefore also used as an ornamental plant wherever frost does not put it at risk.

Reputedly acid and bitter, due to the presence of naringoside (flavonic heteroside), the flesh is not very juicy, pleasantly crunchy, sweet in the South Asian cultivars, while the Japanese cultivars (under the name Buntan) are remarkable sweet-acid balances, being able to reach a great subtlety.

Citrus reticulata subsp. unshiu (formerly Citrus unshiu) is a mandarin tree resulting from a mutation which occurred in 1429 in Japan. The fruit is a sweet and usually seedless tangerine, popular in Japan as mikan, a name also used in France and Belgium. It is named mandarin satsuma or unshu-mikan tangerine in many English speaking countries, satsuma in the UK, and mandarin or tangerine in Canada, less commonly satsuma mandarin or satsuma orange. Satsumas are early and productive tangerines; the first fruits (Hashimoto and Miyamoto cultivars in Japan) are harvested from early September to December in the northern hemisphere, from March to May in the southern hemisphere, in other words 2 months before Mediterranean mandarins or ponkan. This is why the great culture of satsumas quickly spread to California, Florida, Brazil, Spain, Italy and Morocco. In these countries, they are harvested green since the night temperatures are still regularly above 14 ° C, then treated (de-greening), generally by cold or by ethylene, to make the color of the pericarp orange, like the Western consumers demand. In Asia, the fruits are often sold green, or green with an orange base (the maturity of the pulp is independent of that of the pericarp in citrus fruits). Inside, the pulp is a beautiful shiny orange. Cutting these green satsumas in half is a feast for the eyes. Their consumption is always preceded by at least one week of rest after harvest, generally at 20 ° C, rest which gives a sweeter fruit, although the mandarin is not a climacteric fruit. The signs of maturity are the soft concave base, the shiny pericarp with open pores, the high density of the fruit (heavy fruit). Over-maturity is observed when the mesocarp (bark) no longer adheres to the quarters. Satsuma tangerine is not a ponkan (Citrus tangerina Tanaka), a hybrid tangerine reminiscent of orange. The ponkan variety is later (December, January in Japan) and native to tropical Asia, frequent in China and also produced in Japan (cultivars Ota, Morita, Yoshida, and Imazu), and in wide cultivation in Taiwan where it is popular.

An early maturing Satsuma that has thick skin, easy to peel, sweet and juicy fruit with segments that separate easily. This variety grows well in cooler areas. Highly recommended!

The bergamot is a very demanding tree, which only thrives in a very temperate climate.

The fruit of this tree is a citrus fruit that looks like an orange with a greenish skin and turns yellow when ripe. It has the shape and size of an orange, but differs greatly in taste and fragrance. It is a citrus fruit with a rather acidic and bitter flesh, which makes it a poor candidate to be eaten raw. On the other hand, it is the fragrance contained in its peel, and to a lesser extent its juice, that makes the bergamot a very interesting ingredient.

The flowers of the bergamot are pretty little white star-shaped inflorescences, which consist of 5 petals and give off a very pleasant sweet smell. It is around the month of April that the bergamot trees are adorned with hundreds of these small stars, as many premises of the fruits to come. It is also important to know that the leaves and flowers of bergamot secrete essential oil.

Potted citrus can spend the summer outdoors. It needs sun and heat. Before winter, it must be brought under frost-free cover. Choose a place where there is enough light, for example a garage with a window, or an unheated veranda. The temperature should be between 5 and 10°C. Citrus trees do not live well in apartments in winter because the temperature is too high.  Ventilation is also very important.

The fruit of this orange variety is prized for its beautiful seedless segments and easy-to-peel skin. Glen Navel Oranges are among the juiciest citrus fruits.
