    Hi,

     I'd like to get some information on miniature orange and lemon trees. What are the best varieties to get?

    Is the fruit (apart ffrom there being fewer fruits) usable and edible just like a regular-sized tree? 

    Thanks for your assistance!

    Hi

    It's now a year since I planted my mini lemon tree 'Tipico Toscano'. So I am looking forward to next year when the fruits begin to appear. Although they can take up to 2-3 years before fruiting. Even though it's a mini tree the fruits will be full sized. You must feed it with special fruit tree fertilizer and in the winter I moved it into my greenhouse for winter protection.

    Imagine pouring a Gin and Tonic and reaching for your own home grown lemon!
