Hi all

Im in the UK, lovely dreary place at the moment I am looking for a cheap place online to buy citrus, in particular grapefruit and key lime and mandarin. does anyone know anywhere that sells citrus cheap - on a budget here (aren't most of us nowdays!) or if anyone has any they grow themselves they are willing to sell, please let me know

thanks in advance if anyone can help!

You can look here for Europeans dealers:

Don't forget that you are not allowed to by out of Europe..
Mains are:
-in France:Pépinières Bachès and Domaine l'Isolotto
-in Swiss:Baumschule Eisenhut (not allowed to export)
-Germany:pépinière Bernhard Voss
-Italy:Tintori
And many, many others...

If you fail to find Key lime, it's one of the few citrus that will grow true from seed. From seed to a fruiting shrub in 3 or 4 years!

Cheers, Barrie.

And cheaper : sow your own seeds, some species are true to type (polyembryony produce young plants which are exact copy of the mother).
You can also graft them yourself, you can ask for budsticks on specialzed forums.

I second trying growing from seed for grapefruit if you're interested in the plant rather than producing fruit - I managed 3 out of 4 on my very first attempt and they're living quite happily on my windowsill. If they can survive with me growing them I'm sure anyone can do it!

If you track down a key lime please let me know - I can't find the fruit anywhere and the only hit I had for seeds was an eBay listing from Malaysia!
