Just Fruits and Exotics, offers this information: " Sweet Dreams is a sport of Valencia, and much resembles its very popular parent in quality and size, as well as ripening time (Feb. thru June). However, Sweet Dreams is dressed to impress, being stunningly variegated, with stripes of creamy white highlighting both the foliage and the fruit. Because of its late ripening, we consider this one to be a container citrus here in our zone. Self fertile. Zones 9-10."
