Well they lifted the quarantine right after my busy citrus season. As some of you know they served me my papers Nov right after I bought a lot of inventory.

Lets not forget hurricanes & Ive been gone in Virginia.

Anyhow, I have some really nice trees 3-15 gallons in Clewiston if anyone wants to pick them up below wholesale. Theyre in pretty good shape. Why too many kumquats (missed Chinese New Year).

I am guessing I have around 100 7 gallon, 100 or more 3s & maybe 6 -15s. Sanbokan, Ruby Red, Myer Lemon, key limes, you name it. No way youd get these trees this cheap anywhere.

If youre close drop me a line info@tamstrees.com

The rest of the news youll have to wait until spring!

Tam, you never mentioned a price.
Can you beat $24.86 on a 12" X 12" pot, rootbound, healthy & 7 ft. tall with fruit?

Oh yeah I can beat that. Patty thats 3 gallon, right? The height of the tree is not a big deal really. You're going to get that especially with lemon rootstocks. The 3 gallon trees out there right now need a little help but healthy nonsetheless. They are 10.00 - The kumquats have fruit and all my 3 gallon trees will try to fruit. They are grafted trees.

Now I have 7 gallon trees that have thick trunks, 4-6 feet full fruiting trees at 30.00. That's 5.00 over my wholesale price Patty. I know you won't find these anywhere unless you buy wholesale.

15 gallon- needs a little help but nice nice trees. First come at $45.00 no way you'd buy one that cheap.

I'm just selling them because I can't move them right now and the persona taking care of them is not giving the the time nd attention they need. I'm so busy right now I can't deal with them. When I start back up I'm starting with smaller trees, going completely soiless and organic. The trees out there now I only used organic sprays but they came from the grower in whatever they used, therefore not true organic. Everything at the new farm will be organic.

Are you going to drive to Florida? lol- you better hop in your truck. I have not posted these too my mailing list because I have so many people & I'll get bogged down with a ton of email I just don't have time for right now.

Cheers.

Tamara

$45.00 for a 15 gallon is very cheap!
I was just in Clermont/Kissimmee 2 weeks ago for vacation & found citrus at Wallyworld. I posted pics of them --go to Potted Citrus & then my thread on '3 trees I bought in Florida'. Those pots are at least 5 gal as you can see. Didn't mean to sound snotty...I just felt I got a great deal. I hope you sell all! Laughing

Yep I saw them and seen them before. Sometimes depending on the rootstock and other factors I see some trees grow tall like that. Tangelo & Calamondin do that all the time on lemon rootstock. I don't like that. I prefer them to bush out.

Not snotty. I know its a good deal & I'll sell 'em. Especially now. I'm just busy and want someone to come get 'em. If not, I'll bring them up here and repot them. We don't have time to ship right now.
