    CITRUS

    All citrus varieties make excellent pot plants for the patio or conservatory but require special care. See website for care instructions.

    Genus of 20-25 species of evergreen, often spiny, trees and shrubs from open forest, thickets and scrub in southeastern Asia and the larger islands in the eastern Pacific.

    There are many complex hybrids.

    Though not originating in the Mediterranean the soil and climate here provides for better growing conditions and superior fruit.
