I got my new tree's from Harris last week,a dream naval, xie shan, meyer. All are looking good. Hopefully my page got better pollanation. Harris sure got a nice selection of tree's.
For the prices i could go crazy if i got the room.

luak, your exactly correct about Harris's prices. Their priced are excellent. They also have varieties that are not always shown on their Internet page. So if you are looking for a variety of citrus that they don't show, be sure to ask Ruth about it. They often times have it. - Millet

Try picking them up yourself, if you think the shipping prices are great, they will blow your mind and talk your ears off, in a good way. I picked some up in October and have had great luck with them. Two of the ones I picked up were from the conversation as interesting items that at the time were not on their website.

If I had to guess I would think that it would not be legal for someone to personally transport trees out of FL even if they were purchased directly from a nursery that is approved for out of state shipment. There would have to be some way to ensure that the trees were boxed/sealed and were not opened before leaving FL.

When i took one out of the 3gls container because i thought that pot i planted the Xie shan in was too small and replanted in a 7 gls container i notice several long white roots allready develponing. The rootball it came with was well develop.
Harris must know what they are doing.

I wish I could get a xi shan here in AZ. I haven't been able to find it anywhere here and we can't import citrus!
-
You got a Xie Shan from Harris? When I called them last month they told me they wouldn't be ready for sale until July/August.
-
I also got a Xie Shan this spring from Harris, but I placed the order back in Feb. I believe there was some discussion on the availability of Xie Shan at Harris over on Gardenweb. So I suppose it isn't surprising that they sold out.

In my personal citrus collection (about 50 trees), in my opinion Xie Shan is the best tasting variety that I have. I have 3 Xie Shan trees, and they all came from Harris. - Millet
