orange u excited, LOL. Its got baby oranges growing on it. I can't remember what kind it is though but I think it said seedless??? I will have to let you all know that later. Its in a 5 gallon container and seems kind of small to plant in the ground right now so I will have it in a pot on my patio.

The nursery said I should start it in a 7 or 10 gallon container. Does it matter?

It's generally best to move up 1 pot size at a time. Just make sure you have good drainage. That's the NUMBER 1 thing. Citrus trees don't like wet feet. They get root rot very easily.
