Re: Oranges or Pomegranates in Oakland?
If you have enough heat to grow limes, you can certainly grow any of the others
you mention. Limes, as I understand it, are one of the less cold-tolerant citrus
fruits - in fact, I was worried about moving my lime to Vallejo or some such
nothern clime (actual destination as yet undetermined and still very much in the
air), I'm really glad to know yours is doing well.
