Blood Orange

Why Grow Blood Oranges?

Blood Orange fruit stands out with its deep red flesh, rich citrus aroma, and complex flavour that combines sweet orange with subtle berry notes. The fruit is medium-sized with a smooth skin and matures in early to mid-spring, providing a refreshing harvest after winter. This variety is perfect for juicing, fresh eating, or gourmet dishes.

Ideal Growing Conditions

Blood Orange trees grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. They prefer a warm, sheltered location and benefit from protection from heavy frosts. Regular watering and seasonal feeding with citrus fertiliser will encourage strong growth and high fruit yields. These trees are well-suited to growing in pots or garden beds.

Tree Size And Features

Blood Orange trees grow to around 2.5–3 metres tall and 2 metres wide, with a tidy, rounded habit. They are thornless, easy to manage, and produce fragrant white blossoms in spring before fruiting. The glossy green foliage makes them an attractive ornamental tree year-round.
