Fruit and branch.
Pick your preferred citrus, then set your leafy new pal in a sunny spot (we’re talking “8 to 12 hours of sun a day” sunny).

Meet the Maker
The Magnolia Company
Barberville, FL
Right smack dab in the heart of Florida, swathed in sunlight (and misty bursts of rain) groves of magnolias are tended and sung to (OK, that may be a slight stretch) by expert tree people. More importantly the harvested leaves are some of the loveliest on the planet and lend themselves to wreaths and other creations. The company has also expanded its repertoire to include small trees bundled in jute and ribbon that make for lovely and lasting mementos.

To dry to revive
It was such a lovely idea but it came very dry and I haven’t been able to revive it. It will likely die and feels like a huge waste of money.
Beautiful Plant
I like it, but had to get a large pot to replant it. I think if you buy a plant at that price, you should get some type of “deal” on a pot.
Cutest little lime tree!
I had a lime tree in years past, but it was destroyed by a hail storm. I'm excited to foster this little tree and maybe get a few limes in a few years. It's beautiful and I love having it in my home.
