Citrus aurantium VIRGATUM (also know as Bitter Swiss ORANGE) 20-50cm

Citrus aurantium virgatum, commonly known as Bitter Swiss Orange, is a unique citrus variety valued for its slender, upright growth habit and aromatic foliage. Unlike the typical sprawling growth of other bitter orange varieties, this cultivar features a more vertical form, making it suitable for smaller spaces or as an ornamental accent. Its glossy green leaves emit a delightful citrus scent when brushed against, enhancing its appeal in gardens and landscapes. While its bitter fruits are not typically consumed fresh, they can be utilized in culinary applications such as marmalades or flavorings. Bitter Swiss Orange thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, preferring warmer climates with protection from frost. With its distinctive appearance and aromatic presence, Citrus aurantium virgatum adds charm and fragrance to any outdoor setting.
