Pluck fresh blood oranges and add a Mediterranean feel to your home or garden with this beauty! This variety is absolutely packed full of vitamin C so these fruits are not only delicious, but good for you as well.

Use your fruits in everything from freshly squeezed juices, to yummy desserts, and save tons of money on supermarket prices! Not only that, this superb Blood Orange 'Moro' tree will produce highly fragrant, white blossom during late spring and early summer. Wonderfully sweet, blood oranges will be ready for you to pick from October each year.

To ensure you'll be picking delicious fruit year after year, we advise you keep your trees in their pots, and place in a sunny, sheltered position. Hardy to -5C, provide protection from severe frost during the winter time either by bringing indoors into a conservatory, or by covering with a plant cosy.

Supplied as an established plant in a 4L pot, approximately 70-90cm tall, growing to a height of 2m and spread of 1.5m.

Top Tips
  • For best results, bring indoors to cool area for winter.
  • Feed with specialist feed every month in spring and summer growth - they are hungry fellows.
Care Information
  • In summer, water freely - ideally with rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount - allowing the surface to dry out before watering again. Always allow excess water to drain away.
  • Overwatering in winter is one of the commonest problems, so err on the dry side.
  • Only minimal pruning is required to reshape or remove dead or damaged shoots.
  • Provide shelter from severe frosts in winter.
  • Citrus do not thrive in centrally heated homes, but a cool greenhouse on conservatory is suitable for overwintering.
