About Trifoliate Orange, Flying Dragon
Twisted green branches with thorns. The fruit is sour and seedy, but can be used like a lemon. The hardiest citrus, it is also called Chicago-hardy and is rated for Zone 5, with our new zone rating we are hoping to hear of some trials in our area. Unlike other citrus, it loses its leaves, so can be wintered in a cold basement or a garage.
About Citrus
Fragrant white flowers and glossy foliage. Needs excellent drainage. All are self-fruitful. Height depends on how many years it’s over-wintered indoors. Our dwarf citrus are grafted onto Flying Dragon rootstock, which keeps the plants below 6' and induces early fruit production. Move indoors when temperatures are below 40°F. Fruits in one to two years, then fruits year-round.
