Citrus Substitutions

There's been a big change in our citrus offering for this year.

The catalog listed six varieties in 5 gallon pots, each selling for $49.00. But we just heard a few days ago that these would not be available because of a shipping problem from their home in Florida.

Citrus is not grown in Minnesota or nearby states, so we are at the mercy of long-distance shipping.

Knowing that we have, for a number of years, had crop failures of our promised citrus, we scrambled to find a replacement, and were successful! But the plants available (from California) are smaller than the ones we had ordered from Florida, and so these changes will be made:

• All of the plants will come in 4"-wide pots that are extra-deep (from 9 to 14"). This is equivalent to about a gallon pot size.
• All will sell for $25.00, and will be located in Rare and Unusual plants.

The varieties are:

• U064 Kumquat, Nagami
• U065 Lemon, Improved Meyer 
• U066 Lime, Kaffir
• U067 Lime, Persian
• U068 Orange, Blood
• U069 Orange, Mandarin 'Tango' SUBSTITUTION for the Satsuma Mandarin. This new dwarf variety is seedless and tasty, newly developed by the University of California. 

Sorry for the changes, but we're glad to know that we will have citrus available at the sale!
