Report an issue with this species
Citrus sinensis is a broadleaf evergreen hybrid known for its fragrant white flowers and bright orange, juicy fruits. It thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic soil with ample sunlight and attracts pollinators like bees. Grafting onto sour orange rootstock can improve its resistance to Texas root rot.
