What Are True Dwarf Citrus Trees?
Dwarf citrus are small trees that produce normal-sized fruit. Four Winds uses orchard-proven, fruit-producing varieties that are grafted on cultivar specific dwarfing rootstocks. Our premiere dwarf citrus are grafts, not self-rooted cuttings. Dwarfing is achieved by using specific cultivar varieties. Plant experts rate trees by what they call their “F’s”: • Functional: Compatible with today’s outdoor and intimate garden living. • Form: Grown in the ground, they create a highly productive tree averaging eight to ten feet. They are smaller when grown in a container. • Four season: Year-round beauty. • Foliage: Evergreen, very decorative. • Flowers: Attractive. • Fragrant: Producing rich and pleasant aromas. • Fruit: Edible, colorful, and highly decorative. • Flavorful: Good to eat or drink.
