Citrus trees bear fruit abundantly and deliciously for many years. They are evergreens and have fragrant flowers, attract North America's largest butterfly and are a good bird habitat. Explore the types of citrus available, best varieties for flavor and production, how to obtain them, grow them and how to keep them alive during very bad freezes.
Citrus can be purchased at the Urban Harvest Fruit Tree Sale on January 14th and planted in mid-March after the last possible freeze. Location of sale: 5600 Greenbriar Drive, Rice University, Greenbriar Lot.
