The Miho Satsuma Mandarin Tree originated in Japan. It is known for its easy-to-peel, seedless, sweet and juicy fruit. These characteristics made Miho Satsuma Mandarins a great fruit for a quick snack or school lunchboxes. Unlike some other citrus trees, the Miho Satsuma mandarin tree is a slow grower and stays relatively compact. This makes it ideal for container growing. Miho trees typically reach a mature height of around 1.5 meters tall and wide.
