Citrus aurantium (Seville Orange)

Citrus aurantium, commonly known as Seville Orange, is a hardy evergreen citrus tree best known for its fragrant white blossoms and tart, bitter oranges. Widely used for making marmalade, its fruit has a distinctive flavour that is also used in cooking and perfumery. This attractive tree is ideal for container growing, conservatories, or sheltered gardens in the UK, reaching an ultimate height of 3–5 metres when mature.

Thriving in well-drained soils, including loam, sand, and chalk, Citrus aurantium flourishes in full sun and benefits from a warm, sheltered position. In the UK climate, it is best suited to greenhouse or patio growing, where it can be moved indoors during colder months. Regular feeding and pruning encourage healthy growth and an abundant fruit harvest.

This citrus tree is perfect for ornamental use, kitchen gardens, and Mediterranean-themed landscapes. Its aromatic flowers and unique fruit make it an attractive and practical addition to any garden.
