Orange Tree

Description

The Orange Tree, also known as Citrus Orange, is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree that belongs to the Rutaceae family. It is native to Southeast Asia and is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The tree can grow up to 10 meters in height, but the variety used for this input is a dwarf cultivar that grows to a height of 1.2m to 1.5m.

The Orange Tree has a dense, rounded canopy of glossy, dark green leaves that are ovate in shape and emit a fragrant citrus scent when crushed. The tree produces fragrant white flowers that bloom in clusters and are followed by round, juicy, and sweet oranges that ripen in the winter months. The fruit is typically 5-10 cm in diameter and has a thick, leathery skin that is easy to peel.

The Orange Tree is a popular ornamental plant and is also grown commercially for its fruit. It requires full sun.
