Favorable late spring weather and more groves reaching maturity have contributed to a heavy set of great-looking fruit as the 2022 Satsuma season gets closer. "The trees are heavy with beautiful, uniform fruit," said Kim Jones, owner of Florida Georgia Citrus and current president of Cold Hardy Citrus Association. "We anticipate a record Satsuma crop for 2022."
The Cold Hardy Citrus Association, a collaborative group of more than 75 growers, handlers, processors and allied businesses of all sizes, with groves and packing facilities throughout the Florida Panhandle, eastern Alabama and southern Georgia, will debut their newly created regional brand Sweet Valley Citrus at the New York Produce Show Dec. 15.
