Proper Fall Planting

Third Thursday is $5/person and free for AM&G Members. Pre-registration is encouraged.

Growing Satsumas in Containers
Satsumas are my favorite citrus! The juicy mandarin-type oranges are easy to peel, typically or nearly seedless, and ripen early in the fall. While central Alabama is just beyond the satsuma belt for backyard and commercial culture, growing satsuma citrus in large pots is easy. Come learn about these tasty fruits, the varieties available, and how to grow your own in a large pot.
