Citrus

The Navelina Orange dwarf tree is a highly regarded citrus variety, prized for its sweet flavour and virtually seedless fruit. Producing medium-sized oranges with a smooth, vibrant peel, it pairs beautifully with its glossy green foliage to create an attractive and productive feature in any garden. In spring, the tree is adorned with fragrant white blossoms that not only add visual appeal but also fill the air with a delicate citrus scent. This early-fruiting variety typically ripens from late autumn into early winter, bringing a burst of colour and freshness to the landscape when many other plants are slowing down. Its compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for a range of garden styles, particularly Mediterranean-inspired spaces. It can be grown as a striking feature tree, trained neatly along a wall as an espalier, or planted in large pots for courtyards and balconies.

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

Kaffir Lime Tree is an easy citrus fruit tree to grow and it is the leaves - not the fruit - that is highly valued. Kaffir lime trees are much loved for their aromatic leaves, which are fantastic for imparting that authentic Asian flavour to curries, soups and stir fries. The fruits - which do not hold a lot of juice - are visually interesting with green, bumpy skin and the zest packs a punch! Once established these trees require little care or pruning other than to keep in shape or maintain a smaller size.

Soil: Well-drained soil
Conditions: Full sun. Thrives in tropical and subtropical areas. Coastal tolerant.

Orange Valencia Seedless is a compact evergreen citrus tree prized for its rich green foliage, fragrant white blossoms and delicious juicy fruit. Flowering mainly in spring and late summer, the tree produces masses of petite scented blooms that are often seen alongside ripening oranges, creating an attractive display for many months. The large rounded fruit have thin skin, are virtually seedless and are known for their sweet flavour and excellent juicing qualities. Ideal for backyards, courtyards and large pots, Orange Valencia Seedless is both ornamental and productive. Its neat growth habit makes it easy to manage while still producing generous crops of fruit that can remain on the tree well into summer. This self-pollinating variety only requires one tree to produce fruit.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Protect from strong winds especially during flowering or while fruit is forming.
Size: Height 3-4m x width 3-4m

The Emperor mandarin is a classic, much-loved variety, prized for its loose, puffy skin that makes peeling quick and easy. It develops excellent colour and a rich, sweet flavour, with only a small number of seeds. Once mature, the tree is capable of producing a heavy crop of fruit that can be left on the tree and picked gradually, rather than all at once. It produces fragrant, creamy-white blossoms that give way to medium-sized, bright orange fruit ripening from June to July. Ideal for modern gardens, the dwarf form is perfectly suited to growing in tubs, espaliered along a fence, or in courtyards and balcony spaces. For best results, position it in a warm, sunny spot and provide regular watering during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and high-quality fruit

Soil: Well-drained soil
Conditions: Full sun. Protect from strong winds during flowering or while the fruit is forming. Light frost, humidity and coastal tolerant.
