Default citrus trees


Hi All,

Wife and I are retiring to Florida, north of Orlando 50 miles. We have
a home that has plenty of space for several (6 or more) citrus trees,
particularly if they are dwarf varieties. Having NEVER grown citrus, is
there anything I should be careful of when choosing varieties? Do dwarf
trees produce well enough to supply fruit for the two of us? Is
cross-pollination necessary or desireable? Any problems with the root
system close to concrete sidewalks or foundations? We are interested in
growing lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit. Should we consider
others, like tangerines, etc? What kind of maintenance is there? Any
help would be appreciated. We are looking forward to gardening in a
relatively frost free area--for a change.

Bill
