I just recieved my new trees late this morning. They were sent through the mail and did amazingly well, little damage on one, but nothing serious. I'm amazed at how beautiful and healthy they were/are Smile perked right up once potted and watered. guessing they are small trees, even though they seem big to me 2.4 liter size says the tags. these are my first grafted trees, so have to be sure to watch for suckers. going to be pretty cool watching how these grow vs my seedling or cuttings

I got a washington navel
Valencia
Lisbon lemon
minneola tangelo

so, not too bad of a collection going since I already have a meyer, ponderosa, tangerine, key lime, limequat... and to think... not even 2 months ago I was dying to get my first trees now I have tons!

I'll also be going to the greenhouse where I got my original citrus and purchasing a couple others. lemonquat, kumquat, rio red grapefruit and a trovita orange. after that... NO more trees for 1 year. I want to let these grow, keep them alive, see the size... make sure all is well, that they'll fit inside for the winter.

Congratulations, you really do have a nice collection of trees, and aquired in a short period of time. This is the perfect time of year to get new trees with the long warm summer days. You should see a lot of new growth in the next three months. Good going. The Colorado Avalanche lost (actually they got swept by Anaheim) so now I cheering for the Edmonton Oilers. Take care. - Millet

Its pretty exciting having a good collection going. I ended up losing my one meyer Sad it just dried right out... hte branches... so I gave up on it. But, my other meyer, is still oging strong. Limequat lost all its leaves, scared I may lose it too, doing the same as thew meyer... I think its somethinng in the soil as I used the same mix for my limequat and meyer.... flushed out the limequat and repotted, hoping it starts to come through.

Now that I got these trees, looking forwards more than ever to going back to the coast to get more trees there. I cannot wait to get my trovita... my all time fave orange to date
