Notes
'Temple' (Citrus 'Temple') is a tree for the food garden. 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 is a tangor, a cross between a tangerine and a sweet orange. The thick skin peels easily, and the fruit balances sweetness with a touch of sour.
Pairs well with Pomegranate, Olive, and Persimmon.
