Citrus aurantiaca, also commonly known as the Seville Orange or Bitter Orange, is a resilient small tree with a rich history in the fragrance and culinary industries. It is the ancestor of many modern citrus varieties and is known for its intense fragrance and oil-rich rind. The small tree produces glossy, deep green leaves with a distinct wing on the petiole and clusters of creamy-white flowers. The fruit has a thick, bumpy, and pitted rind, making it ideal for marmalade and other culinary uses. Citrus aurantiaca is also used as a rootstock for many sweet lemons and oranges, ensuring the future stock is healthy and disease resistance. Hardy to about -5C when established. It prefers a loam-rich, slightly acidic soil or "citrus compost".
