Dwarf citrus trees (forum)

N starts with ...
I live on the northside of brisbane and am chasing some dwarf citrus trees for my yard. I was thinking a seedless valencia, eureka lemon and tahitian lime. Does anyone know where the best place to buy them, when to plant and how best to care for them?

I live in Canberra, here the summers are hot and dry and the winters are cold and get some frost.

Which Dwarf Orange variety would be best to grow in a large pot?

Thanks.

Hi Pink

have you considered a Blood orange.. 'Ruby', 'Arnold Blood' or 'Maltese'. They love the cold as the deepest colouring is only achieved with cold temperatures. They are also superior in flavour to the standard oranges and are higher in antioxidants.

Although not a dwarf.. growing it in a pot or large container will dwarf the tree because its roots are restricted. And you have complete control over its height with a few snips here and there.

Check out my edibles, all my trees are in pots or large containers.. :)
