Mary Lynn,

Great question. For clarity it's actually not a 15 gallon size pot. Although that's what they call it it's called a number 15 pot these days. So our citrus trees that are coming in in number 15 pots are generally 3/4 of an inch to an inch and a quarter diameter at the trunk and 4 to 6 feet tall.

Betty - Great Question. We don't recommend growing them in pots as it's a harder thing to do, especially in the desert. It is possible, however the bigger the pot the better make sure that the pot is always in the shade. The tree needs sun, however, so you'll have to manage that. Inside a pot, I would say 6 to 7 feet tall. planted in the ground, they can easily get 25 feet tall and we highly suggest that people manage their tree size via pruning.
