I am a citrus fruit tree producing sweet, easy-to-peel oranges.

Native to China and Southeast Asia; spread globally through trade.

Water weekly; drip irrigation preferred.

Requires full sun.

Thrives in 20–35°C; sensitive to frost.

Plant in sandy-loam soil; spacing 4–6 meters apart.

Apply compost and NPK 8:10:10 every 2–3 months.

Botanical name: Citrus reticulata; Family: Rutaceae.

Fruits are safe; leaves and peel oils may irritate pets.

Moderate; leafy canopy reduces dust.

Fruits rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber; eaten fresh, juiced, or in desserts.

Susceptible to citrus canker, aphids, and fruit fly; prune for airflow and monitor regularly.

Can live 30–40 years; starts fruiting in 3–4 years; peak yield from year 8 onward.
