Looking for Tarocco Std in SoCal

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

I'm finally getting my Citrus Variety Grove finished and find I need a Tarocco Blood Orange Standard in SoCal. Prefer on on C-35 rootstock, which is the norm for Durling. Any help in finding a nursery with one in stock is much appreciated.

I've saved two of the original Valencias in my backyard, which appear to be 60+ years old. One is now 20' tall & wide and the other is finally coming back after 5 years of working with it. It is still so bare I will have to leave the shade structure over it for another summer. I'm planning to put one of each of the Blood Oranges in between those two and the Durling Dwarf Tarocco just doesn't fit with the rest. Tarocco grows wider than tall in a VERY spreading form. I have a Moro, Sanguinelli, and Smith going in now and am leaving a space for the Tarocco.

Next up grapefruit row in between the two Washington Navels that have been producing well for a few years now. Oroblanco, Melogold, Rio Red, Valentine, Cocktail being added to the Redblush that seems to date from the original homeowners in 1970 or so.

After that mandarin grove. I'm going to leave the two Kishu's in pots in the front yard for the neighborhood kids and just found a Kishu Standard for the backyard at Glendora Gardens Nursery - great place BTW and right off the 210 fwy at Grand Ave.
