Sweet Orange
Citrus Sinensis
Overview
The Citrus sinensis, commonly known as the Sweet Orange, is prized for its fragrant, white blossoms and vibrant, spherical fruit. Thriving in USDA zones 9-11, it requires full sun and well-draining soil. Mature trees can reach 20-30 feet in height with a spread of 15-20 feet. Regular watering promotes juicy oranges, which are rich in vitamin C. This evergreen adds a lush, tropical feel and provides year-round interest.
