Orange tree - Citrus sinensis.

Description

The orange tree is a medium-sized tree, four to six metres high, with a rounded crown and regular branches. The cultivation of this species forms an important part of the economy of many countries. It is found in regions with a temperate and humid climate. In Spain it is cultivated mainly in the south of Catalonia, Valencia, Andalusia and the Region of Murcia. There are many different varieties, mainly due to the quality of the fruit and the flavour, which varies from sweet to sour. Oranges are used for the production of some liqueurs, jams and marmalades.

    * The size indicated is indicative. It is an approximate height calculated by averaging the height of several specimens. As living beings, each plant has its own shape and growth rate and therefore the measurement cannot be taken as exact.

    * Some plants that have flowers and/or fruits may not have them at the time of purchase. Since flowering, fruit production and even foliage production is seasonal, it may be the case that the time of purchase does not coincide with these periods of flowering or fruiting, which does not imply that the plant has a defect or deficiency.
