Description

Citrus sinensis 'Washington' x Poncirus trifoliata - Carrizo citrange

APPEARANCE : Tall vigorous upright thorny tree with deep green leaves, small scented white blossoms, smooth-skinned sour fruits in abundance. These plants are seed-grown.
USE FOR : Feature planting, orchards and kitchen gardens, privacy hedging. Edible fruit for preserves and cooking. Excellent rootstock for grafting other citrus.
CLIMATE : Needs a temperature over 5C and a temperature change between summer and winter for best fruiting. Heat tolerant and fairly cold tolerant once established.
PLANTING : Plant in full sun and free-draining soil; they do not like getting their roots wet. They don't like alkaline, salt, or heavy clay soils so grow in pots if you have either.
CARE : Prune to desired height if necessary; any seasonal pests can be treated with eco-oil or similar. Feed in spring and summer with citrus-specific fertiliser.
MATURE HEIGHT & WIDTH: 9 m x 3 m.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
