Description

The listing, Rare Flying Dragon Citrus Tree ~Seeds~ has ended.

THE AUCTION IS FOR 15 SEEDS, READY TO PLANT!
JUST ADDED 2 MORE PICS OF THE SEEDLINGS GROWTH SINCE I POSTED THE AUCTION! I MOVED THEM TO A POT, AND THEY ARE DOING WELL!!

NOTICE: ~ 1ST 3 PHOTOS ARE STOCK. ~ THE LAST 3 ARE MY MOTHER TREE THE SEEDS COME FROM, AND MY SEEDLINGS PLANTED FROM THE TREE 3 MONTHS AGO.. MY TREE IS AT LEAST 8 FT. TALL!

FLYING DRAGON TRIFOLIATE CITRUS

Striking variety with curly stems and hooked thorns, making a stunning display when leafless in winter.
Large white fragrant 2" flowers before the leaves, followed by very fragrant 2" fruits ("Dragon's Eggs").
Deciduous small tree to 8 feet (smaller than the type, so easier to keep trimmed), hardy to Chicago. Zone 5.
Makes a nice, deer-proof 'living barbed wire fence' planted 2 feet apart, and because the thorns are curved, they are not a hazard to tractor tires if branches get left on the ground after trimming.
.
Comes 95% true from seed.
Germinates best in the dark, cover seed well.

I live in SC, and mine thrives well, and has been here for years!

Questions & Comments

Flying Dragon is the best rootstock for dwarf citrus trees. It will produce a tree that is about 1/2 regular size with normal sized fruit. This is for a tree planted in the ground. If you are going to grow citrus in containers you may not need to purchase trees grafted onto Flying Dragon because your trees will have limited root volume and will naturally remain small.

Hello! Can you eat the fruit?

Hi!! The fruit on these trees is very strange! The little lemon fruits that come from the trees are mostly seeds! I know they have use, but not sure what they are! If you google the tree, you can find out more information. I just like the look of the tree, very unusual! Because there are so many seeds in the fruit, I had plenty to plant, and plenty to share! I heard the juice is used for flavoring from my elder neighbor!
