A strong-growing hardy orange variety which produces a compact, round-shaped tree that will bear large fruits of delicious flavour! Supplied as a large specimen in a 5 litre pot, will begin producing fruit within 18 months. Plants despatched from 1m-1.5m tall. Stunning plants with glossy, dark green foliage, strongly scented white flowers and bear fruit from late spring to late summer. They are hardy in most parts of the UK (to -5°C), so although they make beautiful specimen plants in a conservatory, they can also be grown in a well drained pot in a sheltered spot outdoors! ON RECEIPT - Remove the plant from the packaging immediately. Check the compost is moist and water if necessary. CARE OF THE PLANTS - These plants have already been grown on to fill the pot provided. The plant can now be enjoyed in it’s present container or planted into a larger container to suit the growing position chosen. Citrus trees grow best in a sunny greenhouse, conservatory or windowsill with a minimum temperature of 4ºC (38ºF). They will also thrive outside in a sunny sheltered spot during hot summer weather. In a dry atmosphere leaf drop can occur, therefore plants should be stood on a saucer containing gravel and water which is away from radiators. Water thoroughly each time the surface of the compost becomes dry. In the summer months watering may be daily during hot weather and fortnightly during the cool winter months, just enough to keep the roots moist. Do not allow the compost to become waterlogged as this will kill the roots. Feeding the plants weekly during the spring and summer with a citrus fertiliser or seaweed-based fertiliser will promote fruit growth. Citrus do not thrive with high salt levels in the compost so taking the plant outside twice a year and drenching with lots of clean water will prevent any build up of excess fertiliser salts.
