Citrangeremo is a cold-hardy hybrid citrange with small orange-like fruits which are the size of mandarins or satsumas.

The oranges can be eaten fresh, but are also useful for jams. marmalades and similar confitures. The thin skin can be grated for the oily aromatic zest, and the flesh is bright orange.

Growing and Training

Citrangeremo is cold-hardy to about 12C - 15C (USDA zone 8). It also resists drought, once the tree is well-established.

The branches have some thorns.

The fruits are ready to harvest in late autumn or early winter, at which point the skin should be a bright yellow colour. The ripe fruits will hang on the tree for several weeks.


History

Citrangeremo has a complex parentage - it is a citrange (Citrus sinensis x Poncirus trifoliata) crossed with an Australian desert lime (Eremocitrus glauca).

More about citrus trees

In Europe citrus fruits are grown commercially in countries with Mediterranean climates, such as southern Spain and southern Italy. These areas have the necessary hot dry summers and mild winters required for producing traditional oranges and lemons. However the availability of new citrus hybrids, along with new rootstocks, is making it possible to grow citrus trees in cooler climates.

We have a range of cold-hardy citrus trees, suitable for eating fresh and / or use in the kitchen. As a general principle, if you are in USDA zone 7 or above (with minimum winter temperatures no lower than -12C to -15C) you should be able to successfully grow your own citrus fruits - but you need to be careful in the choice of variety and rootstock. In addition, the trees should be planted in a sheltered location, in full sun - although these citrus trees can survive cold winters, for fruit production they need plenty of warm sunshine.

In northerly locations it may be best to plant the trees in a polytunnel or similar shelter. You can also plant citrus trees in large containers or planters, which may enable you to bring them indoors over winter.

The best time to plant new citrus trees is in the spring. Be sure to protect the young trees when you receive them, before planting - young trees or trees just delivered will not be acclimatised to cold temperatures.

With regard to rootstocks, the most dwarfing is Flying Dragon, which will give a mature height (depending on the scion cultivar) of 2m-3.5m. It is cold-hardy to about -20C. Pomeroy has similar cold-hardiness but produces a slightly larger tree, around 3.5m or so. Citromelo 4475 is a very widely planted semi-vigorous citrus rootstock with a mature height up to 5m, and cold hardy to about -12C.

Unless otherwise noted all our citrus trees and rootstocks are raised to organic (bio) standards.
