Can citrus trees grow in pots?

Absolutely! Many citrus trees thrive as patio plants when planted in containers. Even better? Container planting gives you the flexibility to move your plant outdoors in warmer weather and inside when frost hits—giving you flexibility in placement and growing conditions. 

Are citrus trees self-pollinating?

Many of the citrus trees we sell at Fast Growing Trees are self-fertile, meaning they don’t need a companion plant to produce delicious fruit (though planting more than one will increase fruit production). Before purchasing any fruit tree, be sure to confirm if your chosen variety is self-fertile—especially if you only have space for one tree! 

How do I choose the best citrus tree for me?

When choosing a citrus tree, you’ll want to know your USDA planting zone so you can be sure the tree you choose is compatible with your location. Additionally, make sure you have an adequate growing spot—whether that’s outdoors or by a sunny window—and that you can give your tree its needed care. If you’re not sure which citrus tree to choose, our Plant Experts can help!
