yes, the plants are much smaller now. When I first ordered 5 or 6 years ago, many were already flowering... that is the price of his success, for us buyers. But that is okay. Fortunately, there is Adavo! Grafting on PT takes a lot of time like 2-3 years for seedlings plus the slow growth in the first years. I wonder if they make any profit at this price considering heating the greenhouse. They don't offer many varieties like before.

The site agrumilenzi.it is about the same price. Their cheapest plants are €10 each. I can't comment on their size because I still haven't received my plants. They got stuck in Italy for 10 days but they are in Ireland now. Hopefully they are ok. But agrumilenzi.it has promised to resend any plants that got damaged so I'm not worried.
As for adavo, I know that a lot of their plants were to small to send this year and will be available next year. I saw the list of plants they grafted this year and they grafted loads of varieties that then weren't for sale. Although I was a day late in ordering so maybe they had already been bought. I wanted unshiu and I think they grafted about 20 types (I can't remember) but only 3 were for sale when I tried to buy them and they emailed me saying the two of those plants will be very small.

Lenzi don't graft on PT. mostly they use Citrus macrophylla which has a lot of problems in container as for watering and cold, since it's not cold hardy. I lost several plants on that rootstock. The only good part is that it grows very fast and needs only 3 months to graft a plant not 3 years!

Now you mention it they don't say what their plants are grafted onto. Hopefully I will get my plants today and will see.
