Arnold Blood Orange Dwarf is a fantastic, small, evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves. The fruit tree produces fragrant creamy-white flowers followed by a small to medium-sized round, blood-red fruit with dark-red pigmented flesh. The characteristic colour is developed best in cooler inland areas where the temperatures are cooler at night. Blood oranges have an unusual, strawberry-like flavour with hints of a citrus tang. Perfect for desserts, juicing, preserves or on its own as a healthy snack. Ideal for planting in smaller gardens, espaliered along walls or as an ornamental in pots for decks or terraces. Soil: Well-drained soil.Conditions: Full sun. To grow blood oranges successfully you will need a climate that allows for cold winters and hot dry summers, they do like cold nighttime temperatures as well. Protect from strong winds especially during flowering or while the fruit is forming.Size: Height 1-2m x width 1-2m
