Citrus myrtifolia. Bonsai 7 years. Orange tree or chinotto. These are typical Mediterranean trees, they live better outside because they need both the sun and the cold to produce fruit. Tree with deciduous leaves, with a very fragrant flowering in spring. From November to February you can see the strong colour of its fruits.

Location: It accepts all kinds of climates but prefers a sunny situation during the whole year. In summer it’s recommended to protect against strong sun of noon and even though it resists frosts well, it’s better to protect against temperatures below –2ºC.

Watering: Abundant in summer and in moderation in winter. Take care not to wet the flowers.

Curiosities: It’s flower, his very fragrant during twilight, therefore the insects responsible for its pollination, are active in this moment of the day, which is a good example of symbiosis.
