China Orange (Grafted) - Bush Variety

About China Orange (Bush Variety)

Botanically Citrus sinensis (Rutaceae family), China Orange - commonly called sweet orange - is a small to medium evergreen citrus tree that can reach up to 10 m at full maturity in optimal conditions. Glossy, fragrant leaves and white, fragrant flowers precede round to oval fruit with a smooth peel that turns from green to orange as it ripens, and juicy, sweet-acidic segmented flesh.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sunlight - at least 6-8 hours of direct sun daily.
• Soil: Well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Avoid waterlogging.
• Climate: Warm, subtropical, 15°C-30°C; protect from frost.

Planting & Spacing

Plant in a large pot or directly in the ground with room for the canopy to spread as it matures.

Care

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist without waterlogging.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium every 3-4 months; mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Pruning: Remove dead or diseased branches; prune after the fruiting season to encourage new growth.

Fruiting & Harvest

Fruiting time is about 1 year from planting under good conditions.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Citrus leaves and peel contain oils that can mildly irritate pets if chewed in quantity - the fruit itself is fine for humans.
