A citrus tree would be a great buffer against the letdown that generally comes after the holidays. January and February are loooong months, even in non-Leap Years.
Unfortunately they’re only recommended for planting in Zones 8-11, which are least affected by Seasonal Affect Disorder. And are home to the tannest people. Unfair.
Varieties available: Meyer Lemon, Clementine Mandarin, Trovita Orange, Yuzu and Mexican Lime.
