Can any of our Canadian growers help me locate any more publically accessible Poncirus trifoliata specimens growing in Canada?
I need to improve my webpage
Where to see Poncirus trifoliata in Canada
Thanks for any information, here or via message.

In north Vancouver a 2-foot Poncirus Trifoliata had to be Greg's Tree. Poncirus Trifoliata should grow easy in BC, even palm trees grow in BC. - Millet ( 699- )

Yes that is mine Smile

. I bought this seedling from a Palm enthusiast here in Vancouver who got the seeds from Switzerland. I am guessing the bush is about 10 years old and has not fruited / flowered. I have had it in the ground for about 4 or 5 years. The thorns are 2 to 3 inches long. Its amazing to watch the Chickadees maneuver through it with out getting impaled.
