Fruit Trees

Sweet Cherry

Prunus avium

كرز

Spectacular in flower and demanding in fruit. Cherries want mountain cold, deep soil, and someone willing to argue with the birds. Where conditions suit them, in the Lebanese highlands, few trees are more worth the trouble.

Blooming season: Spring
Flower colour: White
Fruiting and harvest: May to June
How to care: Full sun in deep, well-drained soil with room to spread. Most sweet cherries need a compatible pollination partner. Prune in summer only, since winter cuts invite bacterial canker. Water steadily through fruit development and stop just before harvest to avoid splitting. Net the tree as fruit colours or expect to lose the crop. Choose a dwarfing rootstock if you want fruit within reach.

Available in 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.
