Fruit Trees

Plum

Prunus domestica

دراق / برقوق

The most forgiving of the stone fruits and the heaviest cropper for the space it takes. Handles a wider range of Lebanese altitudes than cherry or apple, and often fruits so generously that branches need support.

Blooming season: Spring
Flower colour: White
Fruiting and harvest: July to September
How to care: Full sun and soil that holds moisture without waterlogging. Prune in late spring or summer, never winter, to avoid silver leaf. Thin the crop in early summer so branches are not broken by weight and fruit reaches proper size. Water deeply in dry spells while fruit swells. Remove any suckers appearing from the rootstock at the base, since they will outcompete the grafted variety.

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.
