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 cannot send fruit, foliage or plants in soil to Hawaii. Please select the bare-rooted, Premium trees for shipping to Hawaii. We can ship all other non-tree items to Hawaii.
We also 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.
Orders to the east coast are shipped on Mondays only.
Orders to the West usually arrive in two days, while Midwest and East Coast orders usually arrive by Thursday or Friday.
Please allow 7 days to process and ship your order.
Our Citrus selections come in two sizes reflecting the approximate age of the tree. Each variety of Citrus grows at different rates and sizes will vary. Typically, a Premium tree will be the closest to fruit baring 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 Size trees are best re-potted into a 10" to 12" 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 to 36 months old and the closest to baring 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", #3 nursery containers that can be planted into a 12" - 14" container upon arrival. In climates where citrus is regularly grown outside, trees may be planted directly into the ground.
Provide 8 or more hours of direct sunlight per day.
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.
