Ordered Shiranui/Sumo/Dekopon From Harris Citrus
Comments (110)I have the same tree from the same place and on the same rootstock. So far, I have not repotted mine yet as whatever mix it is in, it seems to like at this point (plus it wasn't potbound when I got it). It is doing some nice flushing of leaves. Rich is a trifoliate orange rootstock and should be okay with this. Here is a GW thread on it with a couple links for more info - [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/rich-16-6-dsvw-vd~4158704[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/rich-16-6-dsvw-vd~4158704) One of the links at that thread is this (PDF) where on pg 8 there is a category for "Trifoliate Orange" that includes Rich 16-6. Since you are in south Florida (and have a hot/humid rainy season), just make sure that whatever you mix up, drains well but has enough potting mix so that you are not watering it multiple times a day when it's not raining and the sun is blazing (unless you don't mind doing that). Here is mine this morning (we have had on and off rain for the past couple weeks - it is the tree that is sitting in the clay-colored plastic pot to the left of the plumeria & peony) -...See MoreHarris Citrus, BEWARE
Comments (59)The original post is very old. I wish it could be removed or modified as the title is so misleading for this excellent company. I have ordered from Harris several times over the years and as recently as this year and I have always got great trees and great service. I am very satisfied with them and would recommend them to others looking for reasonably priced trees. They also have a large selection and carry more unusual trees that you cannot get from other places. They have the Sumo/Dekapon/Shiranui that everyone is always looking for and Xie Shan, and so many more. I have at least 20 of their trees and all have grown well.

Comments (5)Dave You are 100% right on that except my wife has put her foot down and said, WE ARE DONE WITH THIS STUPID CITRUS CRAP, WE ARE SPENDING NO MORE MONEY ON THIS VENTURE. I inherited 2 Meyer lemon trees that are now doing very well. My sweetlee tangerine trees are in ground and nearing maturity. each of the 2 have around 60 to 80 feet of linear growth and are well balanced in shape and limb spread. I have no room for 2 kumquat trees. The other fact is my figs are so much easier to grow and PRODUCE figs and are anything but fussy or cantankerous. Steve...See MoreHarris citrus Nursery
Comments (39)Just wanted to put my 2 cents in on this nursery. They do a terrible job packing their trees. On the last 3 orders I placed, the screws that were to be used to secure the pot missed the pot completely. Edit: One of my trees did arrive damaged last year. It was my variegated minneola and it was a main branch that was sheared off. I don't know how I could have forgotten that when posting. Since I did post on this thread. I received another tree from Harris and was crossing my fingers that it would be fine. It was, but the screws completely missed the pot AGAIN. I opened the box this time around with the tree standing upright, peeled away the cardboard from the tree. Well when I went to throw the box away, the screws were at the bottom of the box. I agree with Dave below about price and selection, but you should be aware of what may happen and hope there are more trees available for replacement if you do have to get a replacement. I have never received a broken tree from Four Winds Growers as their packaging is more than just attaching some screws through the cardboard and hoping the pot is on the other side....See Morecory (Zone 7a, NJ)
