I don't think there is such a thing as dwarfing plum. I don't know about nectarine. For the plum I would figure about 12' for the tree, 6' from the trunk plus 1' to be safe, plus a little walking room. Although unless you're in a serious lake effect area I'm not sure either of those would be very reliable bearers.

Dwarf is fine, especially if purchased from Four Winds Growers. You'll be able to plant more trees in the same space for greater variety and successive ripening. Follow the link below for details. Here is a link that might be useful: Growing Citrus in the Ground

Lapins, Stella, Black Gold... Be prepared for possible early spring frost/freeze problems (they like to bloom early) and fruit that splits (too much rain around ripening time). Animals also love them, as do insects. I've got several on Gisela 5(i think) and they are roughly 7ft tall with no pruning after 3 years. You don't really say if you want sweet or sour. Some of the sour are on the sweet side of things... although i don't think they can compare to the sweets quite yet.

Hi every one, hi Man-Go-Bananas, In January I grew lemons, apples and kumquats as I said I would. They are all doing rather well. I have a couple of questions. 1-Lemons I planted some lemon seeds a month ago in Jiffy Easy pellets. I hope you all know what they are - small soil packs. I have kept them indoors in a light windowsill. Now they have grown very nicely, they are around 5-7 cm tall and have nice healthy looking leaves. The thing is their roots have started to come out of the bottom of the soil pellet. I want to make bonsai out of these trees. should I cut off the roots as they come out? Should I just let it be? Or should I transplant them quickly into a pot. The roots which have come out seem to be drying out. 2-Kumquats The Kumquats were planted in January too. Some I started in Jiffy easy pellets and some in wet paper towel. All of them are now transplanted in Jiffy easy pots, which are pots made of some sort of cardboard it seems, with potting soil. The baby trees look as if they can't stand their own weight even tho they are so small still. Should I put a stick or something to support them? And how? I want to keep these trees as small as possible too. What do you suggest? 3- Apples I started some of the apple seeds in January and some a little later after being kept in the fridge for a while. They are all growing nicely except for three of them which I kept outside in the cold and snow and they are sprouting but on the soil, I see a kind of white colored fungus (mold) growing. should I throw them away. The rest of them are OK. some have even grown another set of leaves. In order to dwarf them should I be pinching out the new set of leaves? Thank you all in advance for your help. Cheers
