Hi Hazel,

Most lemons and limes fruit in the winter time, however Meyer Lemon fruits for most of the year so it may be a good one to grow.

Oranges can be harvested from late spring to summer, Satsuma varieties of Mandarine can be harvested in winter while Encore can be harvested in spring and summer.

If you plant the winter fruiting varieties now you may get some fruit on your plants. It is advised to pick off most of the fruit in the first year to let the tree get nice and established, but it is up to you if you would like to get some fruit.

I hope you have lots more fruit to come 🙂
