Q.Non Bearing Satsuma

Zone 34446 | Anonymous added on April 4, 2021 | Answered

My tree is about 8 to 10 years old and finally, this year, it was loaded with blossoms. However, I see no signs of fruit now that the blossoms have dropped. I live in west central FL.

Depending on whether you are talking about the Orange or the Plum, there could be a few reasons for the lack of fruit production.

If this is the Satsuma Citrus that you are referring to, then it is likely a soil fertility or pH issue. Here are some articles that will help:

If this is the plum, then it is likely that your area is too warm (or rather doesn't receive enough cold) to produce. It could, still, be a nutrient or fertilizer issue, but plums will enjoy a cold period during the winter. Here is an article for more information on why plums fail to fruit:
