Fruit Trees

Loquat

Eriobotrya japonica

أسكدنيا

The akkadinia that ripens before anything else in the orchard, and one of the few trees that flowers in autumn and fruits in spring. Broad leathery leaves give it a tropical presence in an otherwise Mediterranean garden.

Blooming season: Autumn
Flower colour: White
Fruiting and harvest: April to May
How to care: Full sun to light shade in well-drained soil. Water regularly while fruit swells in early spring, less at other times. Because it flowers in autumn, hard winter cold destroys the crop, so plant it somewhere sheltered at altitude. Thin fruit clusters for better size. Prune immediately after harvest, not later, or you will remove the flowering wood for the following season.

Available in small, medium, large. Exact pot size and plant height are confirmed when we reply to your order.

Sweet Orange

Citrus sinensis

The orange that built the Lebanese coast. Sweet, thin-skinned fruit on a compact evergreen that flowers white and scents an entire courtyard in spring. Best below about 700m, where winter cold stays gentle.

Lemon

Citrus limon

A lemon tree earns its space twice over: heavy scent when it flowers, and fruit through the coldest months when the rest of the garden has stopped giving. Happy in open ground along the coast and in a large pot anywhere the winter turns sharp.

Mandarin

Citrus reticulata

Easy-peeling, intensely fragrant, and the first citrus most Lebanese children learn to pick themselves. Naturally smaller than an orange tree, which makes it the citrus to choose for a courtyard or a large terrace pot.

If you are planning a full garden, an orchard, or a landscape project, we can design and install it rather than supply it plant by plant.
