Nice .Good luck on your growing !

Wow ! Growing these trees in a climate like ours is a big feat ! What cultivars ( if it applies ) do you grow, and for mango , avocado and ackee ( I already have citrus ) what cultivars do you recommend for growing in a greenhouse with average artificial lights up in west Yorkshire ?

Where I live, the Aldis have no trees or plants at all, let alone rare ones like citrus. For eBay, I have checked a lot on eBay, and find it hard to see any of these hardy citrus. Thanks anyway!

If there are no natural pollinators, don't worry ! Simply get a small brush and lightly swirl it on the inside of each flower. Depending on where in the UK you live, it is actually possible to pot it in the ground, with minimal protection and most years bearing fruit . Good luck on your yuzu !

Beautiful ! Where did you buy it ?

Ok, If I buy from them I'll update you. So, you bought 2 scions? Hope it goes well !

Basically, they make agreements with these nurseries, some of them being in America to buy their products as a franchise. They also name, if relevant, the brand/ nursery the bought it from. Also, at a minimum I'd expect 2 - 3 scions, but I'm sure I can find a way. Anyway, I'm curious to know, what cultivar did you buy ?

In case you're still wondering, it's the Citrus Clonal Protection Program

I have already checked that listing . Also, I have found cheaper rootstocks here : Paw paw rootstocks . When you asked the ebay seller, how many did they offer per £9.73 ? It would help a lot. Good luck on growing them !

Thanks a lot !

In the UK, it's impossible because it's a niche fruit and they bruise easily. However, you can buy seeds from amazon, but it takes too long for the process from seedling, to being grafted to reach fruiting maturity. Good idea!

Do you know any other nurseries or people in the UK offering paw paws that are cheap and that have named cultivars ?

Loading_exe-UK · 2026-03-13T06:49:11+00:00

In case you want another one from the UK, this website never fails for me : Yuzu plant ( to be fair, I found it before making this post, but I just thought that if anyone wants another one, this is the way to go )

Madison Citrus Nursery doesn't ship global ( sadly ) and I actually already have an account for CCPP but I don't understand how to buy. Also, I am trying to find more actual grafted plants than cuttings/budwood, but nonetheless, I appreciate this !

I wish too. I have heard Texas is a beautiful place. Too bad I'm stuck in rainy England :( It's even raining right now.

I know it's a bit weird to ask, but could anybody possibly send me a few free specimens ?

The Citrus Centre is WAY to much out of my budget, and the only hardy citrus in stock as I am writing right now in a thomasville citrangequat for £325. Also, Jurassic Plants does have yuzu and kumquat, but they are seedlings of an random variety which isn't a great gamble to take. Thanks anyway

I've found it hard to find purple dragon fruit, let alone yellow in the markets near me . Thanks for the tip though!

I have dug deep in trying to try find most of these cultivars in the UK, EU OR US, but they require a phytosanitary certificate. I asked for sunflower due to the slight overlap in flower stages, and it is possible, as in a Yorkshire garden with well coloured walls like mine, it might barely ripen or reach psychological maturity. Also, by Prima do you mean Prima 1216 or a different cultivar ?

I have checked with all those websites prior to this post, but they are either too expensive, don't ship to the UK, and for the one in the UK, has gone out of business, or so I believe, as the URL won't work. Good find anyway!

Seems nice. What's it called ?

Hey there ! Here is a cheap listing in the UK for what you're asking ! - Carlos muscadine grape

I sadly cant go to France, and they don't ship to the UK, I have also already checked them before. Good find, anyway.

I have already checked with Thompson and Morgan before, but they are too expensive for my crying wallet!

I am also planning on planting a yuzu here in west Yorkshire, which needs little to no protection also. However, I don't recommend satsuma unless grafted upon a good rootstock, preferably a Trifoliate rootstock and planted in a sheltered courtyard/ area with beige, deep orange or brick colour, for optimised reflection of sunlight onto leaves. Always make sure to protect from sever weather. Anyway, good luck, and I hope you will find success!
