Sumo

Sugarbelle

i have many others around the same size but i wont bore you all with pictures lol!

There's no way I could part with any of those. What a great collection! Perhaps only the Yuzu and Kaffir lime, could I live without, but you'll have to make that decision. I can buy Kaffir lime leaves at the Asian market. Maybe narrow down to the one best blood orange?

Maybe you can just prune them all back, or some of them, to get them to fit. That sounds like the only answer. Or build a larger greenhouse. Or send me your pink lemonade. :-)

You have a great container collection. Wonderful job!

I would keep xie shan Satsuma, shasta gold, minneola, and santa theresa - they are best tasting. I would also keep ponkan, kiyomi, kaffir lime, sumo, and Yuzu because they are rarer unique varieties. Cocktail grapefruit is a maybe, it doesn't have much of a grapefruit flavor but is sweet and juicy like a mix of tangelo, orange and mandarin.

Kaffir limes don't really taste all that good but the leaves are used in cooking, easy to take care of. Maybe find someone else who wants it.

Yuzu is only of interest to those who have in mind various culinary uses for it, using the peel. I have a Yuzu tree that is surviving outside through winter in zone 8a - it is hardier than other citrus varieties. It may be able to survive outside planted in the ground in Vancouver, depending on the exact spot.

Jan, my friend!! What are you thinking? Just cut them back and keep them all. No need for 9 footers.. You could still keep them all and have many if you just keep them small. Too many nice ones and there is not a one there I could part with. I feel for you. That just proves you do a great job with growing and maintaining them. Look at all you have done to this day. I am very proud of you..Hugs))
