Default Buying fruit trees

...
I am looking at buying a lemon, orange and mandarin tree.
I live in Perth so the soil is sandy. But I can change that!

Any recommendations?
I have absolutely no idea where to start.
I have $100 to spend so I can't go overboard :-(

many thanx
Linda





Hey Linda,

Davids Garden Centre in High Wycombe on Dundas Road specialises in citrus
trees. They are on rootstock suited to WA's sand.

Someone mentioned the Eureka Lemon, Imperial Mandarin and Navel Oranges
these are indeed the best here. The Meyer lemon is also good and doesn't
grow into a large tree which is great as far as I am concerned. I got my
Meyer from Bunnings a while back it goes under the name of Lotsa Lemons for
$20.

You can have my imperial mandarin I am sick of the fruitfly.
