The super dwarf citrus are usually grafted on 'Flying Dragon' rootstock.
This usually dwarfs to 6-8'.
The nurseries should know the name of the rootstock. If they don't or if it
isn't 'Flying Dragon' the trees are probably semi-dwarf, which get to 8-15'
generally.

I went to several different nurseries today to look at small fruit trees.
A
saw one store advertise dwarf, and another advertising an ultra dwarf
orange
tree. I believe both were Washington Navel Oranges.
My question is, are they using different terminology for the same type of
tree or is ultra dwarf indeed smaller? I had never heard of ultra dwarf.

I'm looking for the smallest possible tree and am hoping which ever I buy
will grow in the pot I buy it in. My backyard is narrow and I don't have
the
room to plant it my soil. Will that work?

Thanks
