Citrus Trees - Arbres d'Agrumes

Planted in appropriate climates, citrus trees fruit profusely year-round due to their ability of producing both flowers and fruits at the same time. Citrus trees hybridize readily, bringing about cultivars that differ in flavour, size, peel thickness and colour. Plant in an environment with a minimum temperature of 7 °C (45 °F). Use grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, tangerine, mandarin and pomelo juice, rind and peel for cooking, juice, tea, garnish, marmalade and desserts. Notable for their fragrance, essential oil can be collected from citrus peel and flowers like the orange blossom, which are highly fragrant in the garden and in bouquets. Use extract as fragrance, essence and for aromatherapy. If you live in a cold region, citrus trees make for a unique big house plant. Place your beehives near citrus trees during blooming season to get citrus honey. Beyond the juicy pulp and aromatic peel and leaves, the whole tree of citruses hold flavouring secrets, use wood to season grilled and smoked meat.

Plants for purchase are about 2 metres tall and of fruit bearing age.
