Our local Lowes had these trees at $42.00 each a month ago, today they were on sale for $5.00 each.

They are 4.5 - 5 foot tall from the base of the plant. They had about 30 or so assorted plants at that price.

I could not resist and picked up 2 Navel Oranges and an Owari Satsuma. Go check your local lowes, it is their time to get rid of the summer plants at discount prices!

In Norway a tree like that cost $ 260,-

Wauw! Wish we had Citrus like that up here.

You could sell extras on ebay... or to me!! (hint) LOL

I went to our Lowes twice this weekend. They didn't have any citrus on sale

Then again, with a new puppy, a new baby on the way, a yard full of trees, and two toddlers; my wife would kill me if I brought any more trees home (or anything else for that matter).

Phillip I know what you mean, I have bought 7 new trees this year. Luckily my wife was with me and she actually said at that price you should get a few. Once that door opened I ran through it at full speed

Now the trick will be to fit all my tropical's and citrus into my small screened porch for the winter. It will be real tight this year.

Susan I thought about getting more and selling them but I would have no idea as to how to pack them for shipping. I was lucky to get three inside my pickup without damage. These trees are pretty tall and wide. Hey I see your in Tenn. that is not to far to drive, rent a small pull behind enclosed trailer and come over and stock up, all the Lowes in Charlotte are putting them on sale I'm sure. You could literally have 100's of new citrus to add to your collection

Don't tempt me! But 3-1/2 hrs is a bit far... my husband gets mad if we have to drive 8 miles into town. He takes the high gas prices as a personal affront.

John, I've gotten trees this year with rootballs wrapped in plastic, and plants stuffed into the long triangle shipping tubes from the post office, or two tubes taped together. It worked really well, even shipping through the hottest part of the summer.

You folks are killing me 3 1/2 hours, I wish try 2000 miles to Denver, of course I am next door compared to Norway. I bought my first Eureka Lemon at Home Depot 5 years ago, I guess they made a mistake and shipped a few plants here. Have never seen another plant since. (Anyone driving this way soon), I can think of a few Coloradans who sure would like a deal(or not) on a few good sized trees. My clementine and mandrin passed away this spring. PS it snowed in the mountains above 10K feet this weekend.

I'm confused!?! Your location says Denver but say you are 2000 miles from Denver?

In my younger, single days, I would have easily driven that far. Now I have a very .... um..... THRIFTY husband, six dogs, and a very limited income in retirement. All that combines into spending a lot of time at home.
I'm very happy I live in a state that I can use mail-order.

I always pass through the nursery area of my local Lowes when ever I'm there. They have a little area of one gallon citrus always from Record Buck Farm down to Howey-In-The-Hills (for my area). They've always been about ten bucks since I first noticed them. They're usually the same things Meyer and Eureka lemons along with Tahiti and Key limes. But every once in a while there will be odd stuff sprinkled through it all which is how I came to pick up my Buddha Hand citron, Lakeland limequat, Temple orange, and recently a Kaffir lime. At least I think it's a Kaffir. I'm going to have to go back and re-examine the leaves to be sure as what I'm remembering isn't matching up with the photos I just looked at. Still, it's been a good way to pick up odd stuff fairly cheaply since it only takes a few minutes just to cruise through to see if there's anything different that trip. I still sort of regret I didn't pick up that Palestine sweet lime.

I've learned to say nothing about new aquisitions to my wife when I bring them home. Just stick them out there with the other containers and she never notices them.

.....Alan.

My husband doesn't let me go to Lowes alone, for fear I'll buy too much. Our Lowes is rather enthusiastic about moving items out to the sale rack in the parking lot. Around the beginning of July one guy put so much on the 50 cent rack I think he got fired for it.
No citrus though!
