Citrus myrtifolia 'Grafted' (Chinotto Orange)

Citrus myrtifolia 'Grafted' (Chinotto Orange) is a unique and ornamental citrus variety prized for its compact growth habit, fragrant flowers, and bitter fruits. This grafted tree features small, dark green, myrtle-like leaves that form a dense, bushy canopy, making it ideal for small gardens and containers. The tree produces highly aromatic white flowers followed by small, flattened oranges that mature to a deep orange colour. While too bitter for fresh eating, the fruits are traditionally used in marmalades, liqueurs, and the famous Chinotto beverage.

Ideal for ornamental gardens, containers, and culinary use, the Chinotto Orange thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. The grafted form ensures earlier fruiting, improved disease resistance, and a more manageable size. This tree is particularly valued for its decorative appearance, delightful fragrance, and unique fruits that add Mediterranean charm to any garden.
