Grow Sweet Juicy Citrus at home, no matter where you live!
Dwarf citrus are multi-use plants for indoors and out. They have glossy green leaves, bushy compact shapes, fragrant blooms and provide colorful, juicy and delicious fruit. Citrus are ideal for patios and sunny balconies in containers. Even in colder climates, citrus can be grown easily, summering outdoors on your sunny patio, then coming indoors before frost to a bright, sunny warm room or area with strong artificial growing lights.
Citrus seen on today's program are from Four Winds Growers of Fremont, CA.
Available at popular garden retailers and home improvement stores or via mail-order at www.fourwindsgrowers.com.
Four Winds offers 50 varieties of beautiful fruits like the Calamondin and the exotic Buddha's Hand Citron. Their careful shipping and packing ensures you receive a healthy tree to add fruit, flowers and fragrance to your patio, balcony or garden.
