downsizing my citrus collection - Seattle area

9 years ago

Big life changes for me this year, and with an impending move, I need to downsize my citrus collection. Are there any folks in the Seattle area who would be interested in the following dwarf citrus? Moro Blood Orange (2), Oro Blanco Grapefruit (2), Cocktail Grapefruit, Rangpur Lime, Bouquet de Fleurs, Page Mandarin, Washington Navel, Tango Mandarin and maybe a couple other varieties. All trees are from Four Winds, with the exception of one of the Oro Blancos, which is from a local nursery. They are in varying degrees of health and I'm selling them cheap. Mostly, I just want them to have new good homes with owners who have love and time for them. If you're interested, please let me know and I can e-mail you pix and further info.
Thanks,
Martha

    Martha, if you can't find anyone to take the Bouquet of of you, please let me know and I can send money to you to ship me that tree...I have been wanting one for years...I would gladly pay you to do it if you end up having a problem getting rid ofit)) Thanks ...Sorry to hear you have to downsize..It must be a difficult choice for you(

    I would also pay for the Tango one and pay for any shipping..

    Martha, I can take the tango off your hands if you can't find anyone - maybe a Moro also. Happy to send you $$ also.

    Hmm. I'm not exactly sure how to respond to comments - I haven't been on the citrus forum since it became part of Houzz. Here goes:

    I was hoping that someone local would want these. Laura, are you in the area? If no one in the area responds, I think I'll put them on Craigslist here and if that fails, I might consider shipping. I'm in the middle of house renovation and moving and am hoping to simplify my life! Thanks both. Mike, I will keep you posted if it comes to shipping.

    Where exactly are you? I have a friend in Kirkland. I will ask her.

    Martha, I am not near you. I just volunteered in case you did not get any takers in your area and were desperate. I do not need any more trees for sure..lol. I would try Craig's list. I have had great success selling/giving away stuff on it. Best of luck finding them good homes!

    No worries...But if you for some reason happen to can't get rid of the Bauquet one, all you would have to do is cut it back, take it of the pot and stick the too ball wrapped with a moist paper towel in a plastic bag then box then ship..lol In my dreams..BUt, if you do, I will pay you for everything....Maybe make the some money back for the cost of the plant...

    I can understand you wanting to just get rid of the locally though with such little time..I wish you all the luck giving them to people that will treat them well.)

    Thanks Laura and Mike! Junk4us, I can't figure out how to PM you. I believe you have access to my personal e-mail through the posting of this message? If you can send me an e-mail that would be great - thanks all.

    I can't seem to email you or PM you.

    Send me an email - my screen name with @gmail.com

    Martha,

    Likewise, I'm interested in the Moro blood orange. I also do not live in the area but would be very willing to give you $$ for shipping. For convenience, I could even create and email you a UPS shipping label.

    Thanks

    Try posting on the Northwest Gardening forum - that should get you some local responses, although the forum is not terribly active at the moment.

    Hey Martha,

    We replied to your email. Can you check your spam folder?

    Hi Junk4us, I just replied - thanks for your help!

  • 9 years ago

    Hi Martha. My friend sent me a msg. The trees are beautiful! Thank you.

  • 9 years ago

    Hi All,

    My ten trees are gone. I may be downsizing more in the future and will repost if so. Mike and Laura, I couldn't let go of my Bouquet de Fleurs or Tango. It was so hard to let my babies go, but I feel confident they now have a good new home and caring owner - thank you junk4us!

    I am so happy the trees moved so well. I hate homeless dead trees.

    I'm glad they have found a good home!
