Notes
'Tarocco #7' #7 1 gallon (Citrus 'Tarocco #7') is a tree for food gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun. It produces the largest fruit of any blood orange, with sweet juice and a hint of tartness. The rind can turn deep red when ripe, and the fruit needs a winter chill to color and sweeten.
Pairs well with Moringa, Sichuan pepper, and Flowering banana.
