Struggling to Find Licensed Citrus?


After the freeze in February, they killed my two citrus trees. I struggled to find a nursery that was licensed to sell citrus in the Rio Grande Valley. A friend, who is highly skilled in gardening, recommended US Citrus Nursery Trees. I found them on the Internet, placed my order, and my tree arrived very quickly and in good shape. I hardly recommend them to my valley friends!

-Kenny L.

They Gave Me Their Word

I sent two Mandarin trees as Christmas gifts. They shipped from TX on a Monday and arrived at both destinations on the East Coast on Friday. Both were well packed and arrived safely, looking healthy and green, even though the November weather was a concern. (I had been in communication with US Citrus Nursery on this issue, and they assured me the trees would do well at the expected temperatures for the week.) Perfect gift!



-Judith S.

Wonderful backyard addition

The Pineapple, Orange, and Mandarin trees that Trey Sparks got for my wife and me are beautiful. They are flourishing in my backyard and make it a way cooler place to be for our weekend hangs or lazy afternoons with the kiddo. Trey was very helpful and informative about the questions I had in regards to its care, and it has paid off because they are growing like crazy. Great experience, great products, and good people working for them. We're looking forward to when they bear fruit later this year! Highly recommend these trees!

The Story Behind Your Tree

Kishu mandarin traces its roots to ancient China and later gained fame in Japan, where it was named after the Kii (Kishu) region. Its naturally small, seedless fruit earned a cherished place in Asian citrus culture.


From Japan it traveled to the U.S., where specialty citrus collectors immediately recognized its incredible sweetness and snackability. Today it’s considered one of the finest small mandarins in the world.


Your Kishu tree brings centuries of citrus heritage into your backyard.


The Juicy Secret to Backyard Abundance

Once Kishu starts producing, the fruit barely makes it into the kitchen — it gets eaten fresh off the tree.


This is citrus happiness in miniature form.

Excellent service all the way around

So when the first lemon tree arrived, it was very sad, and all the leaves were droopy. I contacted support to see if that was normal. They told me the tree had apparently been affected by the weather during shipping. And give me some tips to try to make it better. When that failed, they sent me another tree. This tree is big, beautiful, and the leaves are happy. It's been transplanted in its pot for 24 hours now, and it looks just as beautiful now as it did when it arrived. The customer support at US Citrus Nursery is excellent. I received emails nearly every day checking up on my tree and offering help with advice. I was able to send them pictures so they could see what was going on. This company takes its customers seriously and cares about them. Where else do you find personal service like that? Nowhere else that I know of. And my husband and I love to support small businesses instead of big chains. Anyhow, if this Lemon tree grows well, like I'm expecting, I'm totally going back for an orange tree, and my husband wants a lime tree. I completely recommend this company; you won't be disappointed with their products, their service, or their super-fast shipping. A+++

gorgeous trees

The beautiful trees I received were impeccably packaged. They arrived safely and were easy to remove from the box. It seems a lot of care goes into growing these gorgeous trees as well as protecting them during the shipment process. The PDF care guide was thoughtfully written and overflowing with wonderful suggestions. I also enjoy reading the ‘Citrus Simplified' blog on the website and look forward to watching my little citrus babies grow. Thank you, US Citrus Nursery! Your customer service is truly a class above the rest!!

wonderful plants

I bought three citrus trees from US citrus and they all came in wonderful condition. My son and I started a garden this year to get him off the iPad. He has enjoyed seeing all these wonderful plants come in and helping me take care of them!

Tori P.

came healthy and well packaged

Tree came healthy and well packaged! Repotted the tree and is still doing well indoors! I bought a Marrs Orange too! I love that every order came with rice hulls and Dr. Manis microbial juice! Will buy more citrus!!! 🍊🍊🍊

Scotty L.

completely intact, verdant green

I was so impressed with the quality and freshness of the trees I ordered. They arrived completely intact, verdant green, and the soil was moist. I have had poor experiences with mail-order plants, but this is now my go-to supplier. I cannot wait for my first lemons, key limes, and blood oranges to start producing!!!

UPDATE: I have named my plant Dundee

I am so excited. For years, I have been trying to find Australian Finger Limes in Texas...I mean YEARS. I first tried them way back in 2011. When I saw them and tasted them, my mind was completely blown 🤯. So, since then, I have been searching for a way to get a plant. Summer after Summer and all the other months, I have envisioned myself kicking back outside with a cold beer. I lean over and pluck a finger lime from the bush, only arm's length away. I cut it open ( I always have a pocket knife) and squeeze its pulpy citrus caviar into my beer. It was a dream. UNTIL MONDAY! Finally, I found a company from Texas that actually carries them, and they ship them to your home. I was skeptical at first, but I thought I would take a chance. Such an awesome experience. These guys were fantastic communicators. I knew they got my order. I knew when the plant shipped. I got updates during shipping. When the plant arrived. They even sent me videos on how to transplant into a bigger pot. The rest is up to me. I am hoping I can keep this guy alive and that it will produce for me those delicious balls of citrus love of which I have been dreaming for years! UPDATE: I have named my plant Dundee

The best shipping I have ever received...

Honestly, this was the best shipping of any object I think I have ever received, much less something truly difficult like a living plant. The tree was in absolutely perfect condition. The tree has quickly potted/transferred well and has multiple new shoots coming from the stalk that was sent to me. Did I say simply gorgeous packing? I want to keep ordering from you just to see the packing jobs, but alas, my wife believes I have filled out the available space for plants already. Thank you. Your company is solidly on point.


-Gabriel W.

Fastest shipping, hand down!

Trees arrived a couple of days after I ordered them. They arrived very healthy-looking, and they were packed very well. Best experience with ordering a fruit tree online, as I have used many bigger nurseries for lots of other trees in my orchard. Hands down the fastest shipping. Definitely will order from here again.

-Raybon Z.

They teleported my plant?!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I LOVE my plants! They arrived quickly, well wrapped, and healthy! Seems like I selected 'pay' and they arrived the next day. I'm also in Texas; however, this speaks to the efficiency exhibited. I'll be ordering another tree within a couple of weeks.

-Detra H.

Perfect, safe packaging

Perfect addition. I was hesitant to order a tree online, but I'm glad I ordered one through US Citrus Nursery. I received my tree quicker than expected and in the perfect, safe packaging. I love it and it's a perfect addition to my patio garden. I'm very satisfied and will purchase other citrus trees from US Citrus.

-Purity M.

Even the packaging for shipping is done right!

I am from South Texas, and saw this small company from down south, so I figured I would give them the business. I am a chef, so small details are very important to me. Wow, packaging for shipping is nothing like have seen from any other vendor that ships trees, plants, or herbs to me. The tree looks in great shape and very healthy. Can wait to harvest some finger limes from it to add to my fresh oysters on my food truck as a special. Chef Mario Austin, TX

Dear Garden Lover,

You may have tried and given up before.


Citrus trees and gardens looking tired, drooping leaves, yellow fruit. You carefully water and fertilize… but everything still struggles.


Let me tell you the truth…It’s not your fault.


Want to know the dirty little secret that I found out?

We’ve all been lied to!


The gardening world is full of products that look fancy… but are actually a net negative.


The Big Chemical companies sell fertilizers are loaded with salts that burn your roots. The Big Box stores stock potting mixes that are decomposing rot that choke your plants, and absolutely everything is lacking beneficial bacteria and fungi!


And even though I invented micro-budding, founded the clean citrus program in Texas, and had all the academic credentials, I still had to experience this pain myself!


My own trees suffered until I discovered what truly matters…the Three Plant Pillars that every plant needs to thrive:


1. Live microbes that unlock nutrients and boost roots


2. Organic fertilizer that feeds, not burns


3. Mineral-based soil that lets roots breathe

That’s why I created Plant Super Boost, Crab, Kelp & Amino Acids (7-4-4), and Super Soil.


To give trees real power. From the roots on up, everything you need and nothing you don’t. Perfected on thousands of plants of every kind.


And if you’ve got one of our micro-budded trees in your hands, know this:


You’re holding science, care, and a little Texas magic.


And you don’t have a brown thumb...you just need the right tools and the right information!
