Description

Kuno Wase is a traditional Japanese satsuma mandarin selected for early maturity and dependable fruit quality. As an early-season satsuma, it is valued for finishing fruit ahead of colder weather while maintaining the soft texture and clean sweetness satsumas are known for.

The fruit is smooth-skinned, easy to peel, and seedless, making it an excellent fresh-eating mandarin. Kuno Wase is well suited to growers who want a reliable early harvest without the management demands of later-ripening citrus.

Overview

  • Early-ripening satsuma mandarin.
