Citrus Fruit

3 year old bush Citrus PlantWhether you are buying a citrus as a gift, or to treat yourself, these zesty plants are bound to give you much pleasure. What’s more, oranges, lemons and other citrus species and cultivars flower and fruit readily and are not difficult to grow, preferring a minimum winter temperature of 40ºF (5ºC) at night and just a little higher by day. They require plenty of light, and dislike sudden changes in temperature, humidity or management in the conservatory or well-lit home.

Supplied as bushes in 20cm pots. Due to the extra weight of these plants the carraige charge is £12.50 per order for mainland UK (exluding Highlands of Scotland and Islands).


Citrus limon (Lemon). Go to Top of Page

A popular reliable lemon from the Mediterranean which produces good sized fruits on even the smallest of plants. Our starter bushes are around three years old and are 40-45cm (15-18in) tall and have developing fruits in place. Interestingly, this lemon tree will normally fruit twice a year, but may produce a third crop of lemons if fed correctly giving an almost continuous supply of lemons.

Citrus aurantium (Orange). Go to Top of Page

Often described as the Seville orange, this plant was originally raised from seed. Easy to grow, the tree is vigorous and the fruit is medium to large with many seeds. Harvest is at the end of the year and the fruit tends to be used for making marmalade. The Seville orange is very productive and they do make excellent display trees where the overall effect is more important than the fruit quality.

Citrus x Citrofortunella microcarpa (Calamondin Orange). Go to Top of Page

Thought to be a natural hybrid between a Kumquat and a sour orange. This small fruited and highly decorative variety is suitable for preserve making. Relatively fast-growing, it can be grown as a house plant, provided it gets good light throughout the year and is kept reasonably moist.

 Bush£39.99



Citrus fortunella margarita (Kumquat). Go to Top of Page

Always popular, this small oval fruited variety has bushy weeping habit. Good flavour and very decorative. Fruits can be used whole, or, interestingly pickled in brandy.
