satsuma

Yes! It's a mandarin type orange that's skin separates from the fruit as it ripens, making it super-easy to peel. There's a town in south Alabama named Satsuma, too.
 
Satsuma was the name given to tangerines by many old timers I knew. I haven't heard the term in years and they are all long gone.

It's also a type of plum
 
Got some meyer lemons and satsuma oranges within sight of the house. The old ones are about ready to pick and the ones planted last month won't be ready for two or three years.
 
yes ya'll are correct...a sweet, easy peeling citrus, mostly seed free....I hadn't heard that it was a plum also...and we too have a town in louisiana named Satsuma....Jogeephus, i've got a meyer lemon aslo, along with grapefruit, and satsuma.. the meyer has bore about 250 big lemons for the last 10 years..the grapefruit about 100 for the last 4 years and the satsuma about 150 for the last 5 years...I only asked the question because when i brought some satsumas up to the farm in Mississippi, about 60 miles to our north, no one knew what they were...have a great weekend !!!

I had never heard of the citrus. Used to have a big satsuma plum and an elephant heart plum in the front yard, DELICIOUS
 
Satsuma are very good, they are trying to introduce them in to schools, because they are very easy to peal.

This may just be a pipe dream but there are several of us in my area who are looking at alternative crops in an attempt to scratch profit out of the dirt and the oranges and lemons are some of the ideas on the table.
