Is it worth it to drive there and pick up citrus trees rather than by locally at nurseries on the northshore? I've heard they have some bigger trees there but have never been.

I’ve never tried to go directly to them, not sure they have a retail option?
They usually sell to nurseries..would love to know the answer

They do sell many things that are not on their website..I have called the number and spoken to Mr Becnel very friendly and had input on some questions I had !

The Becnel brand means the best is citrus, but maybe not so much among lawyers . You may save a bit buying at or near the nursery orchards, but a retailer close to you as long as it's SoLa will have healthy stock at a good price. Check the hang tag for the Becnel name.

Dad had a camp in Venice. He purchased two from them years ago on our way back from a fishing / diving trip. Those two trees produced the best satsumas ever. And always were loaded with fruit. I plan on buying a couple myself

Yes worth the trip and they do sell them there. You can buy other things as well while there.
