Citrus-Orange, Blood x sinensis ‘Tarocco #7’

Citrus x sinensis 'Tarocco #7' produces the largest fruit of any blood orange with a striking deep red rind.

Citrus x sinensis ‘Tarocco #7’ produces the largest fruit of any blood orange. It is also famed for the rind that can turn a striking deep red when ripe. The juice is sweet and delicious with a hint of tartness. Blood oranges require a winter chill to colour the fruit and develop sweetness. All of our citrus are grafted onto C-35 citrange, trifoliate orange, or other semi-dwarfing rootstock which confer good hardiness and production while reducing overall tree size.
