Every garden should have a citrus tree - from lemon to tangerine, from grapefruit to kumquat, the variety is mind-boggling.  Our climate is perfect for growing citrus and they are among the easiest plants to take care of.  There's nothing like a fresh-picked orange or fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice.  A list of varieties that do well in our area and that have been shown to have superior taste, production and lasting characteristics (how long you can store them) will be distributed.
