You can grow any Citrus Tree in a pot. You can grow any fig tree in a pot. Start them off in a 10 gallon pot and later move them to a 25 gallon pot or larger. Larger is better. Some Citrus trees are easier to grow in pots because of their smaller size. They are Key Lime, Calamondin Orange ( which can be grown inside, in front of a sunny window), Sweet Kumquat, Improved Meyers Lemons,which is a semi-dwarf tree, Pink Lemon, which is a dwarf tree. Any other citrus variety should be kept trimmed to around 6 feet tall by yearly pruning, in my opinion. Yearly pruning will make smaller trees bushy and produce more fruit than a small tree which has never been pruned. For more info call 931-9768 Ray----- I have 5 Gallon size trees for $30


If you live in an apartment or not have space for citrus at this time keep in mind that most Citrus Trees need 3 years of growth before it will produce an eatable crop. If you plant a Citrus Tree in a pot today and let it grow by the time it goes in the ground it will have fruit. for more info Ray 931-9768 or http://www.citrustreesnola.com
