There is a heap of choice, all rich in antioxidants and vitamin C; and you can pick some of the most delicious fruit on the planet from your own back yard. While there's many different citrus you can grow the most popular by far is the lemon - can't beat it for summer entertaining drinks.
When I was a kid most lemon trees grew to about 4 metres high and a bit wider. With smaller gardens and balcony gardens today, there are tricks to keep trees smaller and more manageable.
All of WA is ideal for growing citrus - you just need to make sure you get the variety that suits your climate as most citrus won't tolerate frosts. If you live in a cold part of WA, grow in pots and move your tree to a warm spot during the winter months.
If you are thinking of planting a few different citrus you will need to know the season the fruit matures. This is determined by many factors including weather patterns, the health of the tree, nutrient availability and the variety.
