The first question you have to answer is: where do you live?





ALL of these trees require A LOT of heat!!! Generally, sweet-fruited varieties need moderate to high heat to form sugars, sour types less heat. Lemons and limes require the least heat and will produce usable fruit in cool-summer areas (as long as winter temps are not too low).





Citrus plants can be grown outdoors all year round in regions with warm to hot summers and mild winters. Lemon and limes are the most sensitive to freezes. All citrus fruit is damaged at several degrees below freezing. (My lemon tree in Northern California has fruit on it all year round!!!). I have lost two lime trees in the last 10 years to freezes that lasted more than a couple of days. EVEN after I had bundled up the trees and had lights inside the covers to keep it warm!! All these trees would benefit from being planted next to a south-facing wall or fence (orange and grapefruit especially!!).





Citrus is quite tolerant of soil, as long as the soil drains well. Plant in a raised soil mound if your soil drains slowly.





I would only buy dwarf trees. It is MUCH easier to pick the fruit and MUCH, MUCH easier to cover the trees with blankets if they are not much taller than you!!! My dwarf lemon and lime trees (one of each) produce WAY more fruit than my family and our friends and relatives can use!!! I have a Meyer Lemon and a Bearss Lime. Love them! My lemon (about 8 years old) is 2m x 2.5m. My lime (3 years old) is 3m x 3m. You need to leave enough room to walk, get a ladder in there (if you have to throw blankets over your tree), etc. between your trees.





Now is a fine time to plant, as long as you are past the frost in your area. Yes, they can be planted next to each other.





Good Luck!!
Reply:yes, yes, maybe,no.....plant trees in January while the sap is down.
Reply:Plant yourself two orange trees and fertilize, skip the lemon and grape fruit. Put them in the middle.(buy the biggest ones they grow slow)and foreget dwarf are you a midget?
Reply:I have planted pole 4 apple trees, which really bare fruit. They grow straight up about 2 feet wide, and 5-6 ft tall, my apples are for pies, if you like your apples slightly tart, you will like these. Not soggy, more like the Granny Smith Apples. You must plant at least two to X pollinate, or they won't bear fruit. Takes low chill hours which is great I live in So. Cal. They flower in early spring which is a benefit also because it attracts the bees to pollinate my dwarf citrus trees, 2 lemon, 2 tangerine, 4 peach trees in the front garden growing like a hedge about 3 ft tall. 2 dwarf figs in the front garden. Make sure you buy genetic dwarf trees
