Satsuma Tangerine Orange-os!
Ferret just loves those satsumas.
I used to live at this house that had a satsuma tree. No one watered it and it produced a small handful of oranges one summer. The poor tree looked sad, like a skeleton. Leaves all dried up. So neglected. While I was working on Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, I decided to start watering the tree and I bought some fertilizer also and mixed that into the soil. I turned the hose on under the tree one morning and drove off to work. Once I got to work I realized the hose was on back there! "Oh my god, I left the water running! I'll be back in half an hour!" I went back, turned the water off. There was a lake around the tree now. And I could faintly hear the tree sighing and cooing, "Thank you! Thank you. Ahh, it's been so long since I had a good drink." I kept watering the tree for a month or so. It was summer again, and time for the tree to do its fruit thing. Hundreds. Hundreds! Hundreds of oranges begin to appear. Little green globes. This is not a huge tree. But it has decided, you know, to PRODUCE. I mean really produce. I water it some more to keep those oranges fed, you know? That summer and for Halloween and Thanksgiving? Around a thousand oranges, maybe more. Off ONE tree. All seedless and sweet, sweet like you wouldn't believe! And they peel like nothing. Often I was to be found squeezing the oranges by hand and making cups and cups of fresh squeezed juice from these things. Thank you, Tree! You are AWESOME.

Novakru understands......novakru gets it...this tree, it was so small, I mean, it was too small to climb. It was almost a pigmy tree, not more than fourteen feet tall or 14 feet wide at its bushiest part. Think about it. And the oranges, they didn't stop!! They kept appearing and appearing, and every day I would go out and grab a BOX of oranges off the tree. We had fresh orange juice whenever we wanted! And I took the peels and mixed them into the soil under the tree, you know, to serve as natural fertilizer. Everyone I knew had as many SEEDLESS oranges as they wanted, whenever! Do you realize how cool seedless oranges are if they taste good? They're so easy to eat.
