Citrus-Orange, Sweet ‘US 119’
Citrus 'US 119' is a complex hybrid that is extremely hardy to at least -12 degrees Celsius producing sweet oranges.
Citrus ‘US 119’ is a complex hybrid involving a sweet orange, the ‘Dunstan’ citrumelo, and a vigorous trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) called ‘Gotha Road’. It is extremely hardy and should survive well outdoors on the West Coast down to at least -12 degrees Celsius. The tasty, sugary sweet oranges are balanced with a touch of acid and bitterness. Good for fresh eating or for cooking or baking. 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.
