I'll be moving my dwarf citrus this week, to a

more protected spot - temps are getting down 

toward frost.

 

While I'm thinking about them, here's an URL

to check out :

 

Prices are what I paid two years ago - may be

heading up, may not - who knows ?

 

If you're interested in growing indoor/greenhouse

citrus, my advice is to begin with literature :

I had a membership with this group before

they changed their name (not much, but .) and

I was happy with their blurbs/advice.  I may yet 

resubscribe now that I have more time ....

 

I don't know if the URL below is the one where

my citrus came from - it was purchased by a

stranger-to-me who advertised on a gardening

list for this area that at least a small price

break could be obtained by buying multiple 'trees' - 

helps with the shipping, too, to share it if a central 

pick-up/drop-off can be arranged by a group ..

Be sure to read their faqs column, too ..

 

excerpt : "By providing growing instructions 
<>online<http://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/growing/> and our detailed How to 
Grow booklet, which comes with every order, you have all the information you 
need to be successful. It is then up to you to provide the optimal conditions 
and care for your tree."



Last but not least, think cherry/plum tomatoes

vs the full-size types. IMO, a smaller-size-fruit 

plant has a more tenacious grip on life - as in

kumquat/calamondin/lemon vs grapefruit/pummelo. 

And the extra money for a "proved" tree may be

worth it if it takes several years to produce fruit

*and* you are confident in your skills and 

attention-span-to what is going on with your

purchase.
