A BUMPER CROP OF SATSUMAS

Rachel Dufour of Plaucheville picks a basket of satsumas in late November. The tasty citrus is hardy enough to withstand the periodic cold snaps of this area. Rachel said this tree is about six years old and produced over 300 satsumas this year. An orange tree she received at the same time didn’t make it through the first period of freezing weather, but the satsuma did. {Photo courtesy of Rachel Dufour}

Efforts to improve Spring Bayou can be compared to the ducks that can be found in the complex -- serene on the surface and a flurry of activity below the surface that cannot be seen.
