Fruit Trees

Sweet Orange

Citrus sinensis

برتقال

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.

Blooming season: Spring
Flower colour: White
Fruiting and harvest: December to March
How to care: Full sun and shelter from cold wind, in soil that drains fast and never sits wet. Citrus are hungry: feed with a citrus fertiliser through spring and summer and water deeply and regularly so the root ball never dries out completely. Keep the trunk base clear of weeds and mulch, and prune only to remove dead wood, suckers below the graft, and crossing branches. Yellowing leaves usually mean overwatering or iron deficiency in limey soil.

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

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.

Apple

Malus domestica

A mountain crop in Lebanon, and one that rewards altitude: apples need real winter cold to set fruit properly, so they perform far better above 900m than on the coast. Blossom in spring is worth the space on its own.
