Citrus sinensis (Orange)

Citrus sinensis, commonly referred to as Orange, is an eye-catching evergreen citrus tree that offers ornamental value and delicious fruit. Producing fragrant white flowers followed by sweet, juicy oranges, this tree is well-suited for container planting, conservatories, and sheltered gardens in the UK. It typically reaches an ultimate height of 3–5 metres when mature.

Thriving in well-drained soils, including loam, sand, and chalk, Citrus sinensis 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 ensure optimal fruit production and a healthy, compact form.

This citrus tree is perfect for edible gardens, ornamental planting, and Mediterranean-themed landscapes. Its sweet fruit, fragrant blossoms, and evergreen foliage make it a standout feature in any setting.
