Citrus sinensis Blood Orange Grafted

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.
