Laura,

The best way to do this is contact a local nursery and have them deliver and plant the tree for you.

I do enjoy reading your articles about trees,etc. I hope you can help me w/ my question. I live in Santa Clarita, California where it’s hot in the summer and near freezing temp. in the winter. I have a dwarf Eurika lemon tree and a Washington naval orange tree. They had fruits when i bought them. However, now they blossem,small fruits appear but then they fall off. Am I watering too much, please keep in mind the leaves on the lemon tree are half yellow but other wise healthy. On the orange tree the leaves are greener but the leaf becomes brown on the top,it curles in and falls. Please advise on what to do to have fruits. By the way the trees have been planted outside for three years. Thanks in advance.

I am interested in learning what it will take to establish and grow a citrus and nut orchard in Tucson. I represent a green rejuvenation corporation. Serious inquiry………..

Anita,

That’s a great question. I see a lot of people growing their citrus trees in large pots. Some people want to be able to take their beloved trees with them when/if they move.

Dwarf trees are easier to keep in pots, but not required. I see a lot of regular fruit trees of all varieties planted in large pots with drip running to each tree.

Pruned properly they will produce amazing fruit and be portable, for some time.
