Chinotti orange and Bouquet de Fleurs sour orange are great choices for container gardens.
Chinotti Sour Orange
This is also known as the myrtle leaf orange. The plant has few if any thorns. The small, dense, compact, dwarf, rounded bushy, small tree is often grown as an ornamental.
It is very leafy. With a very slow growth rate, Chinotti sour orange is a compact variety of sour orange. The flowers are scented.
The lance-like, deep green leaves are two inches long. These are crowded together.
The very fruitful plant is pretty much covered with the attractive fruits. The fruits are made into marmalade and liqueurs. These ripen to a vivid orange.
These cling to the tree for most of the year, and add beauty to the landscape. Chinotti fruits ripen mostly in the winter. The small, roundish fruits gave a rough skin.
The fruits usually have few to no seeds, but this can vary from one plant to another.
The fruits taste somewhat acid. These generally aren’t eaten very much because they are somewhat tart. However, those of certain varieties are candied or crystallized.
The attractive trees are also grown for their ornamental value. The lovely foliage adds interest to the landscape along with the colorful fruits.
