Fruit Trees
Meyer Lemon Tree
Meyer Lemons are different from the small, tart and acidic lemons at your grocery store – the fruit is literally a cross between traditional sour lemons and sweet oranges. That means you get both sweet and savory flavors from each squeeze of this delicious fruit!
Satsuma Tree
Satsumas are a form of mandarins, known for loose skins, few seeds and sweet flavor. They grow much like other citrus cousins, needing temperate climates and lots of sun, though satsumas are much more cold hardy than others.
Persian Lime Tree
With a Persian Lime Tree, you get distinct flavor of a delicious, seedless fruit. So, no matter your climate, you’ll have large limes the size of lemons and a hardy tree that's drought tolerant and pest resistant, indoors or out.
