I’ve seen folks asking about citrus trees and what varieties for this area.
My cousin owns Emmas Garden in the Baton Rouge area. He’s gotten in a load of trees, has the best varieties for our area.
New shipment of citrus trees????$38 each???? We have the following Meyer Lemon, Owari Satsuma, Brown Select Satsuma, Washington Navel, Pineapple Navel Orange, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Sunburst Tangerine, Valencia Orange, La Sweet Orange, Blood Orange, Clementine, Dwarf Owari Satsuma, Dwarf Brown Select Satsuma and Dwarf Meyer Lemon.
Let me know if anyone needs more information.

Looking to add a couple of citrus trees. Currently have none. Looking for an orange and satsuma but don’t know the difference in the variations of them. Which kind is best of each for this area?

You can call, they will give you information on all varieties.

Get a Brown Select Satsuma and a LA Navel Orange.

I could use a new blood orange. Where is this Emmas Garden and what's the TD discount code?

It’s off Hwy 1, just South of I-10, next to Spillway Sportman.

Unless you’re willing to cover them, a freeze will eventually get them. Might not be this year or next year, but it will sooner than later. That goes for all of those varieties you listed. Then you have to start over. It’s disheartening for sure. What if a citrus tree was not grafted on a rootstock? At least you’d potentially have a “start”on a startover without having to completely start over. What do you think?

I have a small row that I build a makeshift "greenhouse" for when it freezes. It's a PITA but at least the trees don't die. My efforts aren't foolproof as sometimes there is damage to some of the trees but so far so good for the last 10 years.

I'm on my 16th year with my satsuma in BR...it's about 20 ft tall and I picked 1800 satsumas this year

just pile mulch up past the graft union, as high as you can. wouldnt be any different if it were one that was true from seed.

Thanks for that recommendation. I’d never thought about that. Great idea!
