Hi Jeff, I have a Meyer lemon tree growing in my lanai in a pot. Its doing very well. I recently had about 18 lemons on the tree. What's nice about it in a pot, is that this winter I was able to move the tree in the house to protect it from the freeze. BTW, I think its a dwarf tree, won't grow very large which makes it easy to move inside.
Don't know about oranges but Valencia's are nice fruits. Very juicy. I had both a Meyer lemon and a grapefruit tree planted in my yard in my home in Los Angeles and they did very well. No snakes, no rats... lol... Good Luck!!!
