Citrus selection in 90266

12 years ago

Hi, looking to plant 4 citrus trees in the back yard in Manhattan Beach, two bushes and two standard trees.

Requirements in order are year round visual appeal, kid friendly, bird and butterfly friendly, and fruits.

After consultation with a few local nurseries, I narrowed the list down as follows, but everybody I speak to has their own opinion ;)

Citrus Orange 'Washington Navel' Standard
Citrus Orange 'Washington Navel' Dwarf
Citrus Orange 'Valencia' Standard
Citrus Orange 'Valencia' Dwarf
Citrus Lemon 'Meyer' Standard ('Improved Meyer')
Citrus Lemon 'Meyer' Dwarf ('Improved Meyer')
Citrus Lemon 'Eureka' Standard
Citrus Lemon 'Eureka' Dwarf
Citrus Lime 'Mexican' Standard ('Key Lime')
Citrus Lime 'Mexican' Dwarf ('Key Lime')
Citrus Mandarin 'Satsuma' Standard ('Owari')
Citrus Mandarin 'Satsuma' Dwarf ('Owari')

I am leaning towards:
Valencia Tree
Washington Tree
Meyer Bush
Satsuma Bush

What would you pick, and why?

Thank you
P.
