We sell all Citrus, orange trees, lemon trees, lime trees, and grapefruit trees. Since January of 2018 we only sell Citrus in 5 gallon pots, but we designate 5 gal and 7 gal sizes so that the 7gal size designates older larger trees with calipers of the trunk over 3/8 inch or larger and the smaller trees as only 1/4 inch caliper and smaller. The 7 gal trees are not much taller, but are bushier and as mentioned a larger in caliper in trunk size.
