Citrus Plants

Willeh

Hey, this may seem slightly random but does anyone know where I could find cheap-ish citrus plants (lemon / orange.. and windowsill ornamental type varieties not an actual tree)? Online places that deliver / offline places?

Suggestions v. much appreciated, thank you!

Hey midnightraven3, thank you!! Looks good, and price doesn't look too bad (compared to some others that have been much more!)

some of the citrus plants out there can be expensive
these will be younger trees
and so probably wont produce the 1st year
personally i would rather buy a younger tree and wait

thats what i have done this year
mini apple & pear trees, grapes, and the melon/pear tree
and a few other things i normally wouldnt have grown
but their prices seem rather good
my mum ordered lot of bedding plants frm there as well

delivery isnt the quickest i have ever had, but they come well packed and in good condition
i have been happy with all i have gotten from them

How about a local garden centre.

I bought a miniature orange tree (about 6" tall) before Christmas for about £2-£3. I can't remember the exact price, but I never pay more than than for indoor plants.

The fruit have all withered now - I read that they're quite bitter so I never tried any.

I haven't noticed any in the garden centre recently, so they may only stock them at Christmas / novelty type.
