    What would be the best orange to container plant for home use? I live on the line of zones 6b - 7a more in 7a. I am looking for a sweet orange.


    Thank you.

    Not a problem, a lot of people do that. The thing is, I live in Ft. Smith, Arkansas, but there is also a Ft. Smith, Arizona. I have had packages sent to arizona.

    For container growing you can plant just about any sweet orange you wish. Mandarins do especially well in containers, and generally produce small to medium sized trees, particularly when grown as a container tree. -Millet
