Notes
'Valencia' (Citrus 'Valencia') is a fruit tree for the food garden, grown for juice. 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 bears large, sweet fruit with a nice balance of acidity, and it adapts to cooler or hot sites. White flowers open in spring and again in summer.
Pairs well with Olive, Pomegranate, Artichoke, and Persimmon.
