| I have been unable to find any places that sell dwarf citrus trees in Southwest Florida.
Is anyone aware of places around here that sell them? Thanks, Brad |

| Well, everybody's favorite, Four Winds doesn't ship to Florida. I've attached a link that might help you in your search. As far as I know the only true dwarfing rootstock is Flying Dragon, so look for that before you buy. |

| I have had very good luck with trees from Briteleaf citrus. There was a problem in the last few years with Flying Dragon rootstock & it is hard to come by right now. Briteleaf has some in progress, and they also have a new truely dwarfing rootstock called US 897. I ordered a Ponkan and a Meyer Lemon on the US 897 stock last fall, and they have done great this year. Very healthy trees. Both have formed a nice structure and are around 4-6' tall. I'd highly recommend the vendor. These have done much better than a Valencia Orange I bought from Jene's. Here's the Ponkan around July: Don't have a pic of the lemon handy. |
