Grow your Owari Satsuma outdoors in zone 8, 9 or 10. Choose a sunny spot, with good drainage. In wetter soil, plant on a slight mound. Grow it a pot in colder areas, bringing it indoors from a little before the first frost to early spring. It will happily spend the winter in a cold porch or any other cool, well-lit spot. Be sure that the pot you use has a drainage hole and plant it in a well-drained potting soil. When growing outdoors, choose a sunny spot, and water whenever the soil has become party dry. Outdoor trees will usually be free of pests.
