Glossy evergreen foliage provides a lovely backdrop to the clusters of fragrant waxy blossom in spring. This orange tree is an ideal feature for a conservatory or well-lit windowsill and can be moved outside to a warm patio in the summer. The citrus fruits can take approximately a year to develop, savour the taste of homegrown oranges high in vitamin C. Best used for juices, jams, chutneys – a great ingredient to have on hand for cooking and baking or the whole fruit can be frozen and used as an ice cube. Equally the attractive fruits provide a nice ornamental display. Plant in a container or pot using a mix of ericaceous compost and neutral, soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Repot the plant at its original soil level and firm well into the new container. Water well and position somewhere well lit and away from cold draughts and radiators (4-12°C) – in a conservatory is best. If frost-free can be positioned outside from May to October. Water freely in summer and mist leaves daily to increase humidity and discourage pests. Feed with citrus plant fertiliser every 2 weeks. Move plants back indoors before frosts. Reduce watering in winter but do not let the plant dry out completely. Too much or too little water may cause the fruits to drop.
