I have no problem growing citrus in Florida. To me it is an easy grower. the only thing that took out the majority of my citrus was Tropical Storm Fay's 24" of rain in 24 hours. That was ~7 years ago and I have since restocked. Citrus of course do not tolerate flooding and my yard was under water for 3 days.
Of course there is leaf minor, but if you keep the tree vigor up it grows out of it. You also have to keep an eye on aphids when the tree is young but that is easy to counteract by squashing with fingers. I never water my citrus once established. I do mulch and fertilize mid-Febuary. I never use pesticide or any other sprays (too lazy).
The best producers for me has been Orlando Tangelo, Dancy Tangerine, and moro blood orange.
my current list of trees that are mostly small are: honey bell tangelo, orlando tangelo, murcott honey tangerine, ponkan mandarin, ortanique orange, page, red naval, persian lime, clementine, and dancy tangerine.
I once had a sunburst tangerine and it did succumb to insects. citrus rust mites seemed to overcome that one and my refusal to use pesticide probably didn't help it. Sunburst is a great tasting one though.
Again, the dancy tangerine and orlando tangelo has been the best for me. I'm also all about carefree plants. the less maintenance the better. So, if anyone else can suggest citrus variety, please add to the list as I really like growing them as they can be kept small and hedged as desired.
