Citrus
About Our Citrus
We graft and grow a wide range of citrus trees in both full-size and dwarf form. Our young citrus trees are ready for sale when they’re 2 – 2.5 years old, though their heights will vary depending on variety.
Plant your citrus trees in full sunlight. A minimum of 6 hours per day is recommended, but more would be very welcome. When planting in pots or the ground, be sure the soil allows for good drainage and be prepared to feed your citrus trees regularly (2 -3 times per year) as growing their fruit takes a lot of energy.
During the winter months, don’t be alarmed if your trees begin to yellow or look a little worse for wear; this is normal! Citrus trees don’t take up much nutrition from the soil during the cooler months, so their leaves can start to look a little pale, especially if you’re in cooler regions. Once the warm weather returns and they start to feed again, the leaves will green-up again nicely.
For most of the year, we also have a limited range of advanced citrus trees that range between 4 – 6 years old. For information on varieties or about delivery of these trees, please get in touch with us.
At times, if our stock is low, some varieties may show as ‘out of stock‘ in our online shop and may only be available at the nursery.

From left to right, the picture shows a 500mm pot, a 400mm pot, and a 200mm pot.
The largest, an Imperial mandarin, a Meyer lemon in the middle, and a dwarf Meyer lemon in the smallest pot. As you can see, they’re all very different in size.
The real difference will be in maturity of the roots, trunk, and branches. For example, while the dwarf Meyer looks pretty big, its branches are still too soft to hold fruit. Right next to it, however, the older Meyer tree is happily fruiting on nice strong branches.
