If I have a lemon tree, can I also have an orange tree?

You should plant both. Their needs are very similar. I would suggest a navel orange and a meyer lemon If you have space enough add a Valencia Orange for summer fruit. The Meyer Lemon tree takes up less space than the commercial Euerka Lemon and is a better home owner tree. If you have a problem with winter temperature getting below 28 degrees in the winter give them a little cold protection by placing them near a structure that gives them a little protection from prevailing winter winds but give them enough space to grow. allow 4-5 years for these trees to start producing fruit. Buy from a reputable nursery in your area when they have the trees in stock. In the summer water about every 3 days for a young tree and once a week for a more mature tree. Just put enough water into the root zone to keep them happy. Your relatives can give you even more info on local growing conditions. You can plant a lot of other vegetables and fruit trees if you want -just check with your nursery for more information. Do your home work now.

If you live where it is hot all the time, but you can water as much as necessary, you can grow pretty much what you want to.... best bet for watering is a drip system or soaker hoses--- simply lay the hoses around the base of the trees, or down the row of plants near the base and turn them on... the hoses release a slow and steady amount of water so that it doesn't just run-off and puddle, but instead soaks in where you want it.

If you can grow lemons, then all citrus should be an option, as would peaches, and most berries, Melons and garden vegetables.

You should get a good book on gardening.. just the basics... or maybe look on-line for a Gardeners Forum.. they can be of a great help, and you may find someone from your region to 'walk you through' the start-up of your garden!

Good luck! Gardening can be a real joy, especially when you start to see the 'fruits of your labor" ;)

If lemons produce in your area, oranges will just as well. You may have to set up a drip irrigation system, however. The biggest problem is that the winters may not be warm enough for them. Temps in the teens Farenheit can kill an orange tree. It got to 9F where I live and we lost every citrus tree we had. Fortunately, we seldom get less then the lower 20sF.

Yes. I have Meyer Improved Lemon, Orange, Lime, and Grapefruit trees, all growing in 15 gallon containers. All produce. Go to Lowe's and see what they have. They have a great selection in the ones here in South Georgia, $30.00 each.

Lemon trees are less frost tolerant than orange trees - so if they survive, then so will an orange.

you can but remember hot like that they will need to get water everyday and enough that it soaks down to the roots to make good fruit

In this hot condition you can give a try to hydroponics gardening.

i don't know when you plant them but pickin time is january and february
