Exotics & Ornamentals

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. Often it will carry new season blossoms while holding ripening fruits, as they stay well on the tree into summer. This seedless variety is self-pollinating so one tree is all you need. 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.

Citrus Lemonicious is a compact, ultra-productive lemon tree that grows beautifully in the garden or a large pot. This attractive small tree produces masses of full-sized, sweet and juicy lemons over a long fruiting season.

When growing in pots, use a high-quality potting mix and ensure the plant is kept well watered during warmer months, as prolonged dry periods can affect fruit quality.

Citrus Blood Orange Grafted is a compact, evergreen citrus tree with a neat growth habit and glossy, rich green foliage that provides year-round appeal. In mid to late winter, it produces masses of fragrant white blossoms, followed by large, rounded fruit that ripens from mid to late spring. The fruit has a thin, easy-to-peel skin and exceptionally juicy, deep blood-red flesh with a rich, sweet flavour balanced by subtle berry-like notes. The intensity of the red pigmentation varies with climate, with cooler conditions generally producing more richly coloured fruit. Grafted trees establish quickly, begin fruiting earlier than seed-grown plants, and are ideal for home gardens, courtyards, or large containers. For the best growth and fruit production, fertilise regularly during the active growing seasons.
