Each citrus producing state, including California, prohibits importation of citrus trees from other citrus growing states.
Therefore due to agricultural restrictions, we cannot ship citrus trees to Texas, Arizona or Florida. We can ship all other non-tree items to these states.
We do not ship any items to the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico or to API/APO addresses, or to other countries at this time.
In order to insure the highest quality upon arrival, we ship on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Our Citrus selections come in two container size options. Each variety of Citrus grows at different rates and actual tree size will vary. Typically, a Premium tree will be the closest to fruit bearing age while the Entry size will need a season or two of growth to become productive.
Entry Size Trees are from 12-18 months old and are 12"-18" tall. Entry sized trees are shipped in a 4" x 9.5" nursery tree pot. Entry Size trees are best re-potted into a 10" to 12" decorative container within a month of delivery.
In climates where citrus is regularly grown outside, trees may be planted directly into the ground.
Premium Size Trees are from 24-36 months old and the closest to bearing fruit. The plants are a more developed than the Entry size with more branching and a fuller look.
Premium Size Trees are shipped in 10" x 9.5"(aka #3) nursery containers that can be planted into a 12" - 14" decorative container upon arrival. In climates with mild winters where citrus is regularly grown outside, trees may be planted directly into the ground.
Provide 6 or more hours of direct sunlight per day. Finger Limes are an understory plant in Australia and can thrive under filtered light conditions. They also perform well in full sun.
When planted in the ground, tree will reach 8’-12’ at maturity. In a container, the semi dwarf trees will stay much smaller, especially with judicious pruning.
Citrus trees (grown indoors or out) are self-fruitful and do not require pollination.
Season when fruit typically ripens in California
