When's the best time to order citrus trees?

9 years ago

Because I've become completely addicted to my trees (Meyer,Bearss) I'm already hoping to expand my collection with more varieties. I was thinking some sort of mandarin, grapefruit/pomelo, an Italian lemon (and really like 4 more kinds because I LOVE lemons) and after lurking on these threads all summer maybe a kumquat or calamondin. I previously discounted those because I don't care for sour fruit for fresh eating but I'm more open to them for cooking and marmalade purposes.

I live in the northwest and those varieties don't seem to be wildly available in my area so I would be ordering from fourwinds or somewhere similar and wanted to know the best time of year to order them for the best quality and chance at survival? I only plan to get 1-2 more trees per year as to hopefully not overwhelm myself but as any exciting hobby goes it's easy to go overboard. I ask now to hopefully plan my orderings for the right time of year if there is any.

thanks!
