Unusual Citrus Varieties
Our Unusual Dwarf Citrus Range
Along with the usual varieties, we also grow a few uncommon dwarf citrus trees as part of our specialty range. These trees are often harder to find or are varieties with very specific uses that make them a little less common in home gardens. However, as our collective interest in making foods from around the world grows, unique ingredients are often needed, so we try to provide the opportunity to grow your own.
Please note that we are often limited with the number of specialty trees we can produce, so please get in touch with us for the most up to date availability information.
