Description

  • Ever wanted to grow your own oranges? Well, there’s nothing stopping you! With our compact, patio orange tree, you’ll be dishing out half-time segments at the footy before you know it.
  • Trained as a mini standard, these plants feature a strong clear stem and a bushy head of dark evergreen foliage. Throughout the year, perfectly-perfumed white blossoms emerge, with some going on to set fruit.
  • Although slow to ripen, these fruits are most definitely worth the wait, tantalising the tastebuds with sweet and tangy citrus flavour. Eat your oranges fresh, juice them or use them to bake and cook with.
  • Hardy by citrus tree standards, your plant will still benefit from being brought indoors or under glass during the cold winter months. This makes it perfect for growing it in a pot on your patio, terrace or balcony, where it can easily be moved.
  • Perfect for Mediterranean planting schemes, why not plant your orange tree alongside other sunny favourites, like star jasmine, lavender and agapanthus?

Europe

Meet Josh's trusted specialists

Start with a touch of continental sun

Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Josh sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the South Downs, to toughen them up for UK gardens.

Best plants you will ever get online

I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Highly recommended all round

Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!

Satisfied customer

Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.

A really good quality tree

A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
