Citrus myrtifolia. Bonsai 18 years. Orange tree or chinotto. Outdoor bonsai, typical from the Mediterranean. Very appreciated for its flowers and fruits. It needs both sun and cold to produce fruit.

Location: Its flowers are very aromatic at sunset, when the pollination insects are active, which is a good example of symbiosis.

Watering: Abundant in summer, moderate in winter. Take care not to wet the flowers.

Curiosities: It can adapt to all climates but prefers a sunny location all year round. In summer, it should be protected from the extreme midday sun. It resists frost, but it is better to protect it from temperatures below -2ºC.

Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 52 x 42 x 59

Note: The shape and measurements of the bonsais are approximate. The pot is included on the dimensions. The colour and shape of the pot may vary from that of the photo. A bonsai is a living being, so the vegetative state of the plant changes according to the season. The images that appear are non-binding illustrative pictures.
