Description
Delicious seedless medium to large oranges with an almost smooth thin skin.
These trees are perfect for growing in your conservatory or heated greenhouse, they do require frost protection for the Winter, so we would recommend container growing - the bigger the pot the better! This variety is a semi-dwarfing one so will not grow huge!
Giving a gift of an orange is a lovely idea as the meaning is that of love, divination, luck and money.
- Self fertile.
- Requires winter frost protection (a minimum of 41F (5C)and ideally 50F (10C) or higher).
- Likes a sunny, warm position.
- Prefer free draining, slightly acidic (pH 6 - 6.5) soil.
- Please note that it is normal for all citrus to shed their leaves if the surrounding temperatures change suddenly, they simply releaf.
- Fruits are early to mature.
- Edible scented flowers.
- Perfumed flowers.
- Can be grown in pots.
- Ensure the compost remains moist but doesn't get overly wet.
- Never let the plant sit in water (as this will cause rot).
- Feed the trees once a month from April until September and then every three months the rest of the year with a quality, general fertiliser.
- Any pruning that is required is best done late autumn when the tree is dormant.
