Just back from Costco at Sunbury and they are selling big Orange trees
in full flower at £60 each, would cost you many times more from a citrus
nursery and that's if they had similar. Also large old knarled Olive
trees. Probably have them in other branches too.


'branches', very good. Won't they be killed off, though, in a very bad
winter? Or are you planning to keep it indoors?


We already have too many citrus trees (7) so will not be buying any more
despite these being absurdly cheap and excellent quality. Yes they do need
protection from the frost, we take ours into our garage (which has a twin
walled clear plastic roof) over the worst of the winter.
