Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Sweet orange trees are a decorative and productive addition to the spring and summer garden and will thrive in a conservatory or on a windowsill through autumn and winter for year round use and interest.

Glossy, aromatic, evergreen foliage gives year-round presence, whilst highly fragrant clusters of waxy white flowers appear through spring and summer. Fruit is then produced in different stages of ripeness all year round, for regular picking.

Orange trees are capable of surviving brief periods below 0C, but are best grown in large containers and moved indoors to a bright frost free position from autumn to spring. This tree is self fertile and will not need a pollination companion.

Supplied as a large specimen bush (often in fruit) in a 5 litre pot. Height: 2m (6'). Spread: 1.2m (2').

Estimated time to cropping once planted: 1 year.

Estimated time to best yields: 3 years.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Height Up to 200cm (79in)
Spread Up to 120cm (47in)

1 x 5 Litre Potted Plant (KF5877)

Plant citrus trees in patio containers in a mix of ericaceous compost and neutral, soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Repot the plant at its original soil level and firm well into the new container. Water well and position in a frost free position in full sun.
Stand citrus trees outside from May to October. Water freely in summer and mist leaves daily to increase humidity and discourage pests. Feed with citrus plant fertiliser every 2 weeks. Move plants indoors from October to a bright, frost free position (4-12°C) away from cold draughts and radiators. Reduce watering in winter but do not let the plant dry out completely. Too much or too little water may cause the fruits to drop.
