Q:
Are your citrus trees dwarf, semi-dwarf, or standard size? And how far apart would you recommend planting them based on each.
Asked by:
Megan
- 8/25/2022
A:
Megan - they are standard size trees. But there is a whole lot more to the story. The dwarfing root stocks on citrus don't like the desert soil making them harder to grow. Our program only brings in the types of trees and root stocks that will thrive in our area. So we have an education program that teaches to keep the trees small so they are easier to pick and this is done through pruning. It is actually very easy through pruning to keep the trees small.
Spacing depends on what you are wanting. If you want a hedge fence then 6 feet apart makes a great one. If you want stand alone trees then 10 to 12 feet apart is good.
I highly encourage you to sign up for our classes this fall where we teach all of this for free at FruitTrees.org.

Sour Orange
(alemow) is the typical root stock for our oranges and navels, chosen because it is the only rootstock that truly is an orange (the Citrus × aurantium or bitter orange). It is vigorous and highly drought-resistant.
