(Eremocitrus sinensis)
On Forner-Alcaide 5 (FA5) rootstock

Price range: 125.00 CHF through 165.00 CHF

Description

A caviar lemon from Australia resistant to cold, even intense cold, down to -15 degrees C.
The Eremorange is a natural hybrid between the desert lime (Citrus glauca) and an orange tree (Citrus sinensis).
The fruit is small and round (less than 20 grams), with aromatic zest and vesicles like tiny, fragrant orange marbles, typical of Australian varieties.
It is harvested as early as September and can be eaten fresh, but is often made into jams for its complex, surprising flavors.

The tree is vigorous, productive and not very thorny. Its foliage is atypical for a citrus fruit, resembling the olive tree.
