My mini citrus orchard:

Elsewhere I have 2 Rio Red Grapefruit, 2 Ujukitsu Lemons, 2 Blood Orange, & an Orangequat.
Now what can I plant on the balcony? ;)
brian:
Hah you do that too? :)
No in-ground citrus for me, though.
sugar land dave:
I bow to your superior drawing skills! ;)
In zone 6, I don't blame you for no in-ground citrus, but how about a persimmon tree?

I've tried them twice from the grocery store and both times I didn't like them. Skin is a bit too chewy, inside too squishy. Too sweet, not tart enough. Also I read they can cause intestinal blockages because of some persimmon-specific phenomenon I can't remember the name of.
I plan to try more varieties if I see them for sale because everybody tells me how great they are but my experience has been all bad.
sugar land dave:
Perhaps a cold hardy fig tree such as Chicago Hardy, Brown Turkey, or Celeste?
