Sweet and sour

Where can I buy an orange tree in DFW?

I'm looking for a small one that would fit on my patio (in a pot). Searching nurseries in the area doesn't give detail on what they have. Satsumas would be perfect, but I'd be satisfied with most any citrus.

Are you opposed to ordering one from outside of DFW from a place like this (there are plenty of places, this was selected at random)?

Unfortunately, it seems to be against some law to ship citrus trees to Texas and a few other states. Good idea, though. I hadn't thought of that.

Sunshine does carry some citrus trees (not miniature), you might call or go by and see what they have. It may be a little late for planting trees, so they may not have anything at the moment but should be able to tell you when they will.

Lyn, that sound great. It's right next to my new place, too!
