Description Reviews

The Japanese Bitter Orange is also called Trifoliate Orange. It's the only citrus variety that tolerates the cold temperatures in Germany as it's hardy down to -20°C. From April to May, its gorgeously scenting, white blossoms are visible. The fruits aren't suitable for consumption as they are inedible. However, as an understock, the orange from China is highly demanded. It's suitable for all those who want to decorate their garden with a hardy orange tree.

Growing advice

Sowing depth:	1-3 cm
Planting distance:	150 cm
Row spacing:	3 m
When to sow outdoors:
Germination time:	2-6 weeks
Germination temperature:	22-28°C

Winterharter Strauch, der bis zu 3,5m hoch werden kann. Die Bitterorange benötigt einen durchlässigen, gleichmäßig feuchten Boden und einen Platz in der Sonne.
Für die Aussaat muss man Geduld mitbringen. Wir empfehlen die Vorkultur im Haus. Die Samen 1-2cm tief in nährstoffarme Erde säen. Das Substrat ab dann immer gleichmäßig feucht halten, aber nicht zu nass. Die Samen beginnen sonst leicht zu schimmeln. Optimale Keimtemperatur: +22-26°C. Die Keimung dauert 4-6 Wochen. Sobald sich das erste Blattpaar entfaltet hat, kann die Pflanze etwas kühler gestellt und nach weiteren 4-6 Wochen pikiert werden.
