Description
Grow your own sweet orange tree from seed and raise one of the best-loved citrus of all. Seedlings make glossy evergreen plants with intensely fragrant white blossom, happy in a large pot on a sunny patio or planted out in frost-free climates. Note that citrus grown from seed takes several years to fruit and seedlings can vary from the parent tree.
