Seville Orange – Citrus (Grafted)

Seville Orange – Kwan Citrus (Grafted)

The classic marmalade orange: aromatic, tangy and very productive.

Seville is the traditional bitter orange used for real homemade marmalade. Its large, deep-orange fruit have an aromatic, tart flesh and are high in pectin, so marmalade sets well. The fruit is also great for liqueurs, sauces, relishes, preserves and Mediterranean cooking.

This tree is grafted onto disease-resistant rootstock for strong, healthy growth and earlier cropping. It’s supplied at a well-established height of approximately 80–90 cm, ready to plant out.

Features

• Heavy crops of aromatic, bitter fruit that ripen through winter
• The top choice for traditional marmalade
• Self-fertile, so one tree is enough for fruit
• Fragrant white blossom in spring
• Glossy evergreen foliage makes it an attractive feature tree or informal hedge
• Hardy, and tolerates light frosts once established
• Grafted for vigour and disease resistance

Size: Supplied at approx. 80–90 cm tall. Grows to around 2.5–3 m high × 2 m wide in the garden and can be pruned to keep it compact. It’s also suited to a large container.
