You Can Grow These Fruits Indoors

Most experienced gardeners are aware of certain trees that have been designed to grow successfully indoors. In particular, indoor fruit trees have gained in popularity and prominence. These dwarf citrus varieties are appealing to any level of gardener and instill a sense of pride and accomplishment when the tree produces a bountiful crop of fruit.

Most container gardeners are aware of the Meyer lemon tree, given its hearty nature and prolific fruit yield. Given the success of the Meyer, more and more dwarf citrus varieties are now available, and perfect for indoor gardeners. Let's take a closer look at five varieties now available from online sources.

Key Lime Tree - Key limes are the most popular lime trees in the United States, and can be quite successfully grown in containers. The limes are somewhat smaller than you'll typically see in a grocery store, but sweeter.

Ponderosa Lemon - The lemons produced by the Ponderosa are probably the biggest you've seen, weighing in a 1 1/2 to 2 pounds. At first we were worried the lemons would split off the branches and fall, but that's not the case. The tree holds onto its fruit extremely well, and the Ponderosa's scent is better than an air freshener.

Washington Navel Orange - If you didn't think oranges could be grown indoors, guess again. This unique dwarf citrus produces fruit in the winter. The fruit itself is extremely enjoyable ... seedless and sweet!

Calamondin Tree - What's a calamondin? Calamondins, native to southeast Asia, have been deemed part of both the lime and orange family. These trees are fragrant and produce fruit year around. And yes, they actually taste like a cross between a lime and orange. Delicious!

Fingered Citron - Another unusual tree species, but common in Asia. The fingered citron derives its name from how the fruit looks when ripe, as the sections resemble a hand. Delightfully fragrant, it is a prolific fruit producer when given proper care. The fruit itself is similar to a lemon, in terms of use and taste, although somewhat milder.

Indoor citrus trees are available in these and many more varieties. They're perfect for any level of gardener, but particularly appropriate for beginners. These trees are a great way to instill confidence within the beginner, especially when they begin to yield fruit. Compact and affordable, indoor citrus trees can be shipped at any time of year to even the coldest climates.
