About Your New Citrus sinensis ‘Blood Orange’ – Blood Orange Tree
Citrus sinensis ‘Blood Orange’, commonly known as Blood Orange, is a highly prized citrus tree renowned for its striking red to burgundy flesh, rich sweet flavour, and exceptional ornamental appeal. The fruit combines traditional orange sweetness with distinctive berry-like notes, making it one of the most sought-after citrus varieties for fresh eating, juicing, and culinary use.
This evergreen fruit tree performs best in full sun and fertile well-drained soils with regular moisture during establishment. Blood Orange thrives in warm temperate and Mediterranean-style climates and develops moderate drought tolerance once established. Fragrant white blossoms appear in spring, followed by colourful fruit that ripens through autumn and winter.
They look excellent when used in home orchards, edible gardens, courtyard plantings, and large containers where productive harvests and year-round structure are desired. The combination of ornamental beauty, fragrant flowers, and distinctive fruit makes Blood Orange an outstanding addition to productive landscapes.
