Here are my recommendations for the best five (5) citrus fruit trees you can grow in the backyard. I’ve assessed the trees on growth, production, fruit taste, and several other factors to come to my own personal conclusions as to what I consider to be the top five citrus trees to grow. Enjoy!

Love Meyer lemon!
He is really working toward a citrus orchard
I need your help to rescue my kaffir lime tree pls. I took it out too early in spring and the cold weather damaged half of the leaves. I have few leaves left and mostly bare stems. Should I cut the bare stems down to promote new growth or should I just leave the stem n new leaves will grow on them? Thank you!
"Washington" Navel Orange is so named because the original scions were sent from Brazil to the US Agricultural Department in Washington, DC around 1910. They were grown in a heated greenhouse before they were eventually sent to California.
Should have a clear warning that you live in aus and can grow citrus outside most of your follwers dont live in a place where citrus cant live
What is your latitude and elevation?
What are your thoughts on permaculture?
Where seedlings available
You should try trifoliate orange/flying dragon fruit.
I am living in winter areas tell me trees that I can grow in winter areas
As I think ur area is also winter areas so need some guidance from you how to grow different fruit trees in these areas
What about the Michelin chef's favorite Japanese Yuzu lemon tree, dont you have that? I want to know if it's worth growing here in California. Also the Kaffir lime for Thai or Indonesian cooking?
Back yard lol it is a park in aus lol About only place where citrus grow fast like this where i live citrus die in winter
Thank you for the video! It was very educational.
We have normal hot weather in my country. Can the orange fruit tree survivethe heat?
this is awesome cause my section is only 410m2 and the house takes 200m2 of that!
Dance music needs to make a return to your videos
I live in Georgia USA and l loved this video. It was most helpful. Thanks
i LOVE my Valencia oranges 🙂 thanks for all your awesome content. … even more than my meyer lemon tree 🙂
For Meyer, at what time they produce the fruits and how long the fruits last. I had one lemon it was here when I bought this house the fruits look similar Meyer or Ereka but I had harvest fruits all year. The fruits not fall off they hanging on the tree until wilt and dried. Unfortunately it die few years ago. I try to find out what it was so I can replace them. I have one Tahitian lime the fruits fall off when it ripen. So I after November I have no lemon and lime for my cooking.

Hi, Mark, good suggestions…I do not know if your Imperial Mandarin is the same as Satsuma Mandarin, but I think the Satsuma is likely the best mandarin all around…It is seedless, easy to peel, and cold hardy to about 15F when mature. The fruits hang on the tree for months as well. I has one hiding in the leaves two months after I finishing picking them in Dec. No rotting…The citrus trees are good in deer county, squirrel paradise, birds and rabbit heaven too.
Mark, Have you heard of the Rangapoo Lime? I have one here on my property in north Florida that I started from seed. I love the flavor. I have 17 citrus trees on my property and I love the page Orange, Satsumas, Meyer Lemon and Ruby Red grapefruit. Interesting video. Thanks.
Growing up we had Valencia trees in our backyard. They're very good. Navel oranges are even better I think and we had a couple of those. We didn't have Mandarins but they're now probably my favorite. We had lemon trees but not the Meyer. I've heard great things about Meyer lemons from various sources though and definitely want a couple of them one day. I also want tangerines as well. We had grapefruit but I wasn't at all a fan back then. I kind of like them now but they're still not a favorite. I think Ruby Red has the best taste. I definitely miss being able to walk outside and pull fresh citrus right off the tree, so I envy you. I want that again one day soon. Right now the best I could do would be containers, but they can't produce anywhere near the volume that ground-planted trees can.
Cara Cara navel, Valencia orange, Washington navel, fukumoto navel orange, lane late navel, tango mandarin, page mandarin, Moro blood orange, Tarocco blood orange, Minneola tangelo
Hi there! I just got a Tahitian lime – how old do they need to be to be so fruitful? mine is only 2 years old.
If there was only 2 citrus trees that I had to select they would be the Cara Cara orange and the Meyer lemon. The Cara Cara has hints of berry flavour with no citrus acidity and the Meyer lemon I like to eat as is if I want a citric acid flavour to my fruit.
