April is approaching, with the start of the citrus planting season.
This year, we’ve added a few new varieties, some of which are a little less cold-hardy than usual, so can be grown in pots or greenhouses in Switzerland.
Very hardy for a Bergamotier, but a little too hardy for Switzerland: keep in pots and overwinter in a sheltered spot.
Fantastico is the most widely cultivated Calabrian variety, for its acidic, floral juice but above all for the exceptional essential oils in the zest, used in perfumery since the 18th century.
Combava is resistant to -5°C and can be grown in pots under winter cover.
An easy-to-peel, very sweet clementine for harvesting in December.
The tree is thornless and can be pruned compactly for pot cultivation.
Resistant to -9°C and harvested in January, it can be found in Ticino on the terraces of Lake Maggiore.
These varieties will be available for sale online in a few weeks’ time.
