This special variety of seedless orange blossoms during spring and early summer, exuding a heavenly sweet aromatic fragrance. The fruits begin green in colour and quickly swell into a richly coloured reddish orange ready for you to pick from October onwards. The oranges are wonderfully sweet and packed full of natural vitamin C as well as antioxidants… good for you and simply delicious!
Proven to survive the worst of British weather - frosts down to -5°C, lashing rain, sleet or snow and ferocious high winds - this orange tree is ‘evergreen’ when kept protected from frost and can bear fully sized, delicious, juicy oranges within just 12 months! Not only do you get a fantastic sense of satisfaction by growing your own fruit, this tree is an investment and, long-term, you’ll save plenty of money and plenty of those all important food miles!
In terms of care, the tree should be grown in a sunny, sheltered spot. It prefers free-draining acid soil, so it is important to grow it in ericaceous compost in order to maximise the health and prolific cropping potential of the tree. It is advisable to grow this tree in a pot rather than planting it out into the garden directly, this makes it easier to manage acidity levels and means you can quickly bring it indoors if temperatures drop below -5C.
