sizing an orange tree for my yard

10 years ago

My local nursery has a nice selection of orange trees from:
https://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/our-citrus-trees/orange/sweet-orange.html

They have the following trees:
Cara Cara Navel Orange
Robertson Navel Orange
Skaggs Bonanza Orange
Washington Navel Orange
Moro Blood Orange
Midnight Valencia Orange
Valencia Orange
Trovita Orange

I'm most interested in the Trovita. I didn't see anything about the width of any of these trees on the tags or the web site. Will the width be dictated mainly by how its pruned? I'm concerned about a tree that will be too big for the area. I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions. thx

Here is a link that might be useful: four winds growers - oranges

look at the tag as see if tH e rootstock is listed. If not ,the nursery will be able to find out from fourwinds. They should be able to give its growth parameters. Pruning does a lot, but not everything. It can also take a lot of experience and knowledge to do justice for the tree. Seeings that you are in zone 9b I would have no idea what rootstock to use. My only choice is poncirus trifoliata and its fraternal twin flying dragon. Four winds keeps good records on its citruses. I grew mine from seed.
