The Orange 'Trovita' is a popular citrus tree known for its sweet, juicy fruit and attractive foliage. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens and outdoor spaces.
When grown in the ground, a Dwarf size tree typically reaches a height of 6 to 8 feet with a spread of 4 to 6 feet. In containers, the Dwarf's height is generally more manageable, around 3 to 5 feet, allowing for versatile placement on patios or balconies. The Semi-Dwarf size tree can reach heights of 10 to 12 feet in ground and will typically grow 6 to 8 feet when cultivated in containers.
'Trovita' requires full sun, thriving in at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce optimal fruit. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered regularly, especially during dry spells; however, care should be taken to avoid waterlogged conditions. A consistent watering schedule, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, is recommended.
With its vibrant oranges and fragrant blossoms, the Orange 'Trovita' not only provides delicious fruit but also enhances the visual appeal of any garden space. Its manageable size and delightful characteristics make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners looking to add a touch of citrus to their edible landscapes.
