I'm in zone 9b (Orlando). The Florida Ag department has cut down all (seven) of my Orange trees due to citrus canker. I'm trying to find a replacement tree for one of my oranges that was providing shade to some delicate foliage. I can't replant citrus for two years due to a citrus canker quarantine.
The question..... what is a good replacement tree that grows to about
Thank you in advance.
try a loquat, eriobotria japonica, nice big leaves, delicious fruit.
Thanks for the reply. Just so happens I bought a Loquat Saturday morning for delivery Wednesday. It had all of the characteristics I was looking for.
I planted a cary mango tree after the gov. cut down my grapefruit tree. They're delicious and the tree provides shade.
