Fruiting & Harvest

Grafted citrus plants like this one typically begin fruiting around 1.5-2 years after planting, and can fruit 2-3 times a year once established.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Citrus leaves and peel contain essential oils that can mildly irritate skin or cause stomach upset in pets if chewed in quantity - the fruit itself is safe to eat.
