If you weren't meaning the 'Sunburst' cultivar specifically, I have a Satsuma.

I chose Miho for a few different reasons. It is suited to a container and more cold hardy than other cultivars.

I found mine in a local ACE garden center around this time of year in 2008. It was supplied by a south Texas grower.

You don't need two trees to produce fruit.

I have found the Satsuma to be problem free. I had a lime tree that had constant issues with mealies but they never bothered the Satsuma even when sitting right next to it.
edited to add this link http://aggie-horticulture.tamu... and due to needing more coffee this a.m.
It is not uncommon to see blooms (which smell wonderful) and fruit of the little tree at the same time. I do overwinter mine in the greenhouse as I wouldn't want to forget it and loose it to a freeze.
