Sure, go ahead. But even if they're in one hole, they still need to be 15 to 18 inches apart.

I guess I'll do more reading about these and plant a grapefruit tree next instead! Thanks, Jean.

Marcia:
I would put a page and a nova in one hole. Then I would get
an Orlando tangelo in a container to pollenate both.
Alternately Lee and Page.

Clem and murcott and gf, I can get at the market, I cant
get page/Nova here. If they're not the best they are so close. And they're tantans.

Thank you for the suggestions, Larry. I have read good things about Page and I have seen that variety for sale. I'll keep a lookout for Nova & Orlando. I can't do a tree in a pot right now--we're 'snowbirds' at this time but expect we'll be full-time (or almost) residents in a few years. (I can probably fit another in-the-ground tree in the backyard if I come across the right one!)

Who makes these rules? I'd just stick em both in one hole and pray!! Make sure you put coffee grounds out there daily! They will be fine.

Thanks for the encouragement, Desertdance. How are the coffee grounds helpful?
Marcia

They provide acid, and the citrus love it! They will fight for space, your two trees, so they will dwarf automatically, but I don't think that's bad, do you?

A HUGE plus...Worms LOVE coffee grinds which in turn they will thank you by keep your soil fertilized and well airated..:-)

Marcia:

See if you can locate a citrus tasting this coming fall.
The best is to try local fruit.
