Citrus reticulata

Citrus reticulata is an evergreen perennial plant, probably native to South and East Asia.

In its natural habitat, it reaches up to 8 meters in height. The branches are sometimes thorny.

The leaves are dark green, leathery, shiny, small, and lanceolate or oval.

The flowers appear in spring in the leaf axils. They are small, single, white, and intensely fragrant.

The edible fruit is orange or yellow, oval to spherical, with a skin that separates easily from the aromatic flesh.

Citrus reticulata grows best in well-drained, fertile, and well-drained soil.

In cooler climates, it is cultivated as an ornamental and fruiting houseplant, and can be brought outside in summer.

It prefers a sunny or partly sunny location.
