Citrus Trees

*LEMON TREES
Winter is the main cropping period for all lemon varieties, but in frost-free areas trees can bear fruit practically all year.

‘Eureka’ 5Lt
Eureka is less vigorous than other lemon varieties, and has fewer thorns. It grows well in mild climates and bears most of its crop in summer when the other varieties aren’t bearing fruit.

‘Lemonade’ 5Lt
This sweet juicy fruit tastes like lemonade, is devoid of bitterness and can easily be eaten as a fresh fruit. The lemonade tree often has thorns and bears several heavy crops each year.

‘Lisbon’ 5Lt
Lisbon is a large, vigorous tree that bears large crops of fruit. The old varieties were very thorny, but newer, less thorny strains are now available. It is more tolerant of frost than Eureka.

‘Meyer’ 140mm
Meyer is a popular choice for home gardeners. The fruit is very juicy and has a sweeter (less acid) flavour than the other lemons. The tree is smaller and more compact, and is more tolerant of cool conditions.

MANDARIN TREES
‘Emperor’ 5Lt
The fruit has a pale orange skin that is inclined to be puffy. Excellent flavour, however the fruit can be prone to drying if harvest is delayed. Loose skin that is very easy to peel. Most popular mid season variety.

‘Imperial’ 5Lt
A proven early variety that is still very popular today. Excellent colour and flavour; the skin is smooth, glossy, thin and easy to peel. Older trees may develop a biennial bearing habit.

‘Satsuma Miho’ 5Lt
Very early fruiting and easy peeling. High sugar levels in fruit. Very popular export variety. One of the main satsuma varieties of Japan. Slow growing dwarf tree. Fruit is better flavoured than the common Silverhill variety although a little smaller.

ORANGE TREES:
‘Blood Orange’ 5Lt
Sweet variety requiring hot dry conditions for best colour. Blood oranges have their own distinctive flavour reminiscent of strawberries. This is the best colouring variety in the sub tropics. New PVR blood orange.

‘Joppa’ 5Lt
This is one of the original varieties that were brought here by the first fleet. Not widely grown these days, we believe it is an underrated backyard orange. The tree is a strong grower, producing fruit mid-winter. Oranges are medium sized with a good flavour, not the sweetest, but certainly juicy, a few seeds and well worth a try. It crops consistently every year.

‘Valencia’ 5Lt
This seedless orange is a bud sport of the Valencia, maturing a little earlier, its a heavy cropper and good juicing variety. Attractive compact tree.

‘Washington Navel’ 5Lt
The Washington Navel is the most popular backyard orange grown in Australia. It is a small to medium sized tree that produces oranges ripening in mid winter. Oranges are medium to large, (depending on the quantity of fruit set), and very sweet and juicy. Skin is relatively easy to peel and being a navel, the fruit is seedless.
