Entry Size and Premium Size Citrus Trees

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.
