Hi Sludge,

If I ever get to the point of actually selling and shipping bareroot Citsumaquats it will only be to states within the continental United States of which it is legal to ship citrus into. I see my market as Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. With rampant citrus greening it's likely shipping to Georgia and South Carolina might not be possible. Your state of California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Louisiana, Florida and perhaps Mississippi, Alabama are banned from citrus imports. Two years from now shipping citrus might be too much trouble or not even possible the way things are going. If shipping into legal states becomes too much trouble I'll dump the mail order idea which will be the end of my business because local sales will never amount to anything.

Thanks for your interest!

Hi Don,

But is there any chance to get plants to Europe?

Hi Robert,

No shipping of citrus plants or seeds to Europe or anywhere else outside the continental United States.

Thanks,
Don

Don,
I am a full time market farmer for fayetteville I live 45 min east of town in maddison county, We are ony one of 3 people out of 130 members who are full time and maybe the only who have the farm as their only income. we have been members 5 years and full time 3 years raising a family of 5 kids. I like to grow things others are not growing for example I am the only one with Yacon for sale and I even have the morado cultivar which is not available anyplace else. I would very much like to grow some of your citrus even if they are only nagami kumquat quality. I enjoyed growing tropicals in the marshall islands 8 years, now are place is full of citrus trees lol in the winter. My farmers market manager told me last fall that their was one thing you could not grow for our market citrus, so I surplrised him and sold a few meyer lemons that next week! My wifes marshallese family is in enid I could possibly meet you someday and buy them from you, though I will probably get lost in OK city I think I drive thru it to get to enid right? I just discovered hardy citrus though I grow and save seeds for over 100 vegetable cultivars. We also have over 30 heirloom sweet potatoes including 6 purple cultivars. I recently ordered my first cold hardy citrus from mckenzie farms and that other big place with good prices cant remember their name at present. Anyway let me know if I could meet you if I take my wife to enid again. I am really looking forward to trying your citrus and am very excited I would like to buy 4 when they are available. I will be the envy of the farmers market!! LOL
