Plant Description

The Citrus aurantium Variegated, a stunning form of the bitter orange, is a compact citrus tree prized for its attractive variegated foliage and ornamental appeal. This young tree features glossy, dark-green leaves mottled with creamy-white streaks and fragrant white flowers. The small, round fruits, also variegated during development, mature to a smooth orange hue. Though the fruit is bitter and sour, it is commonly used in marmalades, liqueurs, and essential oils. Its compact size and striking appearance make it ideal for pots, patios, or small gardens.
