Citrus × sinensis 'Orange', a hybrid between pomelo (Citrus maxima) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata), also known as the sweet oranges, is a commonly cultivated family of oranges that includes blood oranges and navel oranges. This little tree is wonderfully fragrant. This plant develops white blossoms and then fruits. Place the plant in a sunny and sheltered spot. The plant can be fine outside in summer, but likes to overwinter inside.
The grower instructs that the fruits are more for decoration than consumption.
The generic name originated from Latin, where it referred to either the plant now known as citron (C. medica) or a conifer tree (Thuja). It is related to the ancient Greek word for cedar, κέδρος (kédros).
