Subject: Dec 11 photopost Author: Leo Kerr [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:07:22 12/12/13 Thu what is that tree with the orange (colored) fruit? My first thought from the size was, "maybe it's an osage orange"? Except, well, at least in this area, the tree looks nothing like that! But the fruit are suitably large.

Except, well, at least in this area, >the tree looks nothing like that! But the fruit are >suitably large I received some "orange fruit" for Christmas from a friend of our family. In South Louisiana people grow an orange citrus fruit called satsumas. They are similar or maybe identical to tangerines. The skin peels easily away from the fruit. This batch was sweet and tasty.
