It is illegal to ship citrus into Texas because of the possibility of insects and diseases being introduced.

You can get the Cara Cara Pink Naval Orange at Caldwell Nursery in Rosenberg. They are advertising that a new shipment has arrived.

I think the Cara Cara's got toasted pretty good in the January freeze in Houston. The Satsuma varieties are much hardier. If you don't live near Rosenburg you can also buy Cara Cara through Urban Harvest http://www.urbanharvest.org/classesevents/calendar/tree_sale_2010.html
or on the NW side at RCW. I'm sure there are other retail sources around Houston. LT is right about shipping Citrus across state lines, it is very restricted.

This Saturday is Precinct 2's Master Gardener Sale, and they have Cara Cara's listed in their catalog:

Arbor Gate up in Tomball also had a large selection of citrus last week when I was up there. They're also very good about ordering in what you're looking for, so you might give a call before you head up there.

I have 5 citrus trees just planted last fall that I'm waiting to see what's alive and what's not. If only we could get 2 weeks of "normal" weather for this time of year, maybe they'd start leafing out again! I was hoping I'd know by now, so I could replace what didn't make it at one of the spring sales as well. Oh well!

Good luck with your citrus quest!

Thanks all I never thought of Caldwels in Rosenberg. I love that place. My few citrus went through the cold very well, perhaps the houses all around protect them so I think that this orange might be OK here too. I do have a questio though my others are in large pots because I intended to take them in if they got too cold, the problem is that they are too heavy to move LOL . Will the cara cara be better off in the ground?

I've had horrible luck with Cara Cara! One died within 6 months of planting,(no apparent reason) other planted at my daughters went "wild". You might have better luck with other blood orange vareities such as Morrow, that has a more stable growth habit. I have several n33 navels that (so far) are doing pretty well, and 2 rio red grapefruit that have survived the freeze of '89 only to come back pretty much bullet-proof! Your in Z9, i'm in Spring (Z8B) so you might do better than I did. Any rate good luck with it!

I saw Cara Cara orange trees on Amazon (04/16/2016).

It seems that most Cara Cara trees online are fairly expensive.
