I recommend dwarf rootstock for citrus in southeast Texas

There are no true dwarfing rootstocks available for citrus like there are for apples, however flying dragon trifoliate rootstock will reduce the size of citrus trees by about 40%.  Instead of an eventual height of 15-20 feet, dwarf citrus trees will reach 8-12 feet high and wide.  They can be planted 8 feet apart.  The fruit is of excellent quality and equal size.  You don't need a ladder to harvest the fruit.  The trees I propagate for myself are all dwarf.  Trees are easier to protect for extreme freezes.  Dwarf is the best rootstock for container grown citrus.

Nice MrTexas grown citrus tree

3/5 gallon and about 24-36 inches tall.

The huge citrus from outer space "Bitrouni Lemon"

A friend in California sent me some seeds for this oddity.  He got them from the citrus collection at UC Riverside.  Thanks citrusboy!

This is the giant panzarella orange.  It is as big as a grapefruit and very early.  For more information click the following link:  the story of the panzarella orange and lemon and here: A giant orange for Texas

This is a bunch of the panzarella cluster lemons.

 I have large 7 gallon trees about 4 feet tall of both panzarella orange and cluster lemon for sale.

Panzarella giant cluster lemon.  World's largest lemon. Twice as big as a ponderosa lemon and thinner skin as well!

"Get a bicycle.  You won't regret it if you live."  Mark Twain

MrTexas gets his 1889 54 inch high wheel bicycle and Kennedy 54 inch reproduction high wheel bicycle

My nickel plated Kennedy 54" high wheel bike.  Very close to an antique in looks and ride.  A reproduction built in the 1970s

I am one of the guys to the left. The bike is an English 1889 Royal Mail.  It is one of the better examples of a late ordinary as it has ball bearings in the head and cranks and a very ornate mustache style handlebars. 

I can now be seen cycling around the neighborhood on my 54 scaring dogs and children as often as he can.  I always wear a helmet though.

Beaumont is located about 90 miles east of Houston, TX

Beaumont is 460 miles NW of Brownsville, TX, the Texas citrus belt. However, this is a prime location to grow satsumas!
