Hi,

Looking to connect with Tucson, AZ area gardeners. Getting settled into our new home and looking for ideas to landscape our small west facing back yard.

Anybody out there who knows about Fruit Cocktail/Citrus Cocktail Trees and what nurseries carry them? Would also appreciate advice about espalier - dwarf trees: manderine orange, navel orange, ruby red grapefruit, lemon, lime, apricot, plum and vines: thompson seedless grape and a seedless red grape (flame??). Thanks!!

Mesquite Valley Growers (Speedway & Pantano) is the best garden center in town and will have biggest selection.

I have also had good experiences at Harlow Gardens (Pima & Craycroft) and Civano (Houghton & South of Irvington).

Look through the UA Master Gardener pages (Pima County Master Gardener Program | University of Arizona CALS Cooperative Extension) and the UA extension pages (University of Arizona CALS Cooperative Extension | Improving Lives and Communities). There is some great info there (and maybe even some free compost )

There's a good group on Facebook that you should join called "Tucson Backyard Gardening".
