Citrus

Citrus Navelina commonly known as the Navelina Orange tree, is famous for its delightful taste and seedlessness. Its medium-sized, round to slightly oval fruits boast a smooth, vibrant orange peel and glossy green foliage. Beyond its delectable fruit, it enhances gardens with fragrant white blossoms during spring. The tree bears fruit early in the season, typically during late autumn or early winter, infusing landscapes with vibrant colours and flavours. Grow it as a feature tree in Mediterranean style gardens, espaliered along a wall or plant it in large containers or pots in a courtyard or balcony setting. It’s the most popular orange for juicing, high in vitamin C and delicious enough to be eaten straight from the tree.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Frost tender.

Arnold Blood Orange is a brilliant small, bushy, evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves. The fruit tree produces fragrant creamy-white flowers followed by a small to medium-sized round, blood-red fruit with dark-red pigmented flesh. The characteristic colour is developed best in cooler inland areas where the temperatures are cooler at night. Blood oranges have an unusual distinctly strawberry-like flavour with hints of a citrus tang. Perfect for desserts, juicing, preserves or on its own as a healthy snack. Ideal for planting in smaller gardens, espaliered along walls or as an ornamental in pots for decks or terraces.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. To grow blood oranges successfully you will need a climate that allows for cold winters and hot dry summers, they do like cold nighttime temperatures as well. Protect from strong winds especially during flowering or while the fruit is forming.

Citrus sinensis Orange Valencia Seedless Dwarf Grafted is an attractive compact tree. This seedless orange is a bud sport of the Valencia, maturing a little earlier with heavy crops fruiting from September to December.

The dwarf rootstock, Flying Dragon, modifies the top growth - making this a dwarf plant that is ideal to use planted out or as a pot specimen.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Warm temperate and sub-tropical climates. Frost hardy.

The Tahitian Lime is a popular small-spreading, evergreen tree with glossy leaves, some thorns, and fragrant creamy-white blossoms.

The Finger lime, known as Caviar Lime, is a native Australian citrus that produces delicious and iconic edible fruits. The fruit grows in long slender shapes and is filled with small round pink pearly segments that appear like caviar. The taste is an exquisite sweet lime. Finger limes will begin to drop of their own accord, usually between November and March. It’s important to wait until the fruits have matured before harvesting, as this variety will not mature once removed from the branches. The fruit is beautiful in summer drinks, desserts, chutneys, jams, and marmalades. Finger limes can be planted in the ground as a beautiful specimen tree or in large pots. Being a grafted tree, our specimens will produce fruits immediately without needing to wait the typical decade for the tree to mature to a fruiting stage.

Soil: Plant in composted, well-draining soil. Mulch in spring and keep the soil moist in summer.
Conditions: Will perform best in a warm sheltered spot in full sun. Tolerant of frost and dry conditions.
