Hi, everyone. I just found this forum - been on DG for years but didn't know this forum existed.
I want a blooming-sized Orange tree - don't care what type as long as it's very fragrant. I have Calamondin already.
I have begged and all that, but have had only seedling trade offers - even pleaded with the Floridians to send me one, but no takers. If anyone has a 3'+ tree to trade, please dmail me. I have lots of different genre of plants to trade.
I am ready to buy one at a reasonable price - is that possible, and if so, WHERE? Of course, it will need to be either a private source or online, since I live in the boonies!
Please dmail me with any sources or information. THANKS!
Blooming Orange tree wanted
I know I run across citrus at some of the mail order nurseries--unfortunately I haven't really paid attention to where I've seen them since nobody's allowed to ship citrus to CA. Top Tropicals sells large plants and they have weird citrus varieties sometimes, but I'm not sure if they would have standard orange trees at all. Here are the Garden Watchdog listings for places that sell tropical fruit trees (sorted by rating so you should see the best ones first)--any of these are possibilities.

And here are the listings from Plant Scout who list a variety of orange for sale (if you don't see the one you like here, not all the companies in GW list their stuff in Plant Scout so you can start digging through the nursery listings) http://davesgarden.com/ps/search.php?search_text=Citrus+sinensis
Thanks - did that yesterday!
