What Are True Dwarf Citrus Trees?
Dwarf citrus are small trees that produce normal-sized fruit. Four Winds uses orchard-proven, fruit-producing varieties that are grafted on cultivar specific dwarfing rootstocks. Our premiere dwarf citrus are grafts, not self-rooted cuttings.
Dwarfing is achieved by using specific cultivar varieties. Plant experts rate trees by what they call their "F's":
