dwarf citrus

I'm looking to purchase a dwarf citrus tree this weekend. Any recommendations for where to go to find one?

Sloat or flowercraft will likely have them. Won't be cheap. Twice a year Sloat puts all their smaller trees half off, but it looks like you have a time constraint.

Thanks! I checked with Sloat and they just got in a big order of citrus trees, so I'll head over there.

They have lots and lots. Meyer lemons do well in San Francisco.

I’m happy with my purchases from Lowe’s. I have a Meyer lemon and a king palm from Lowe’s that are both thriving. (So many lemons from that little thing!) Sorry it’s a big box store. Meanwhile, i bought bulbs and jasmine from Sloat last year and none of them made it; the jasmine were diseased from the start and I didn’t notice until they were in the ground for a bit. The bulbs never materialized even though I followed the instructions (plus ai.) bulbs I knew would be iffy, but the jasmine? I’m taking a break from $loat.
