Sweet Orange (Citrus Fruit)

A decorative addition to the garden in spring and summer, Sweet Orange trees will love a windowsill or conservatory in autumn and winter to provide colour and interest all year round. Clusters of strongly scented, waxy, white flowers will bloom from April to June, complimenting the glossy, fragrant evergreen leaves. The fruits will emerge in different stages of ripeness throughout the year, for regular picking. Orange trees will cope below 0 degrees for a short period but are best grown in large pots and brought inside to a bright, frost-free spot from autumn to spring. A self-fertile variety that won't require a pollination partner. Supplied as a large specimen bush (often in fruit). Height: 2m (6'). Spread: 1.2m (2'). Estimated time to cropping once planted: 1 year. Estimated time to best yields: 3 years.
