Citrus aurantium var. dulcis - Sweet Seville Orange
Among all the orange trees cultivated in the prestigious Parisian orangeries under the name "Bigarrade" (Seville Orange), the Sweet Seville Orange remains a singular botanical curiosity:it is the only one whose fruit is sweet and edible.
Prized in the royal collections of Versailles and the Jardin des Plantes, it embodies the Enlightenment's taste for rare varieties, cultivated more for their heritage value than for their yield.
This orange tree forms an elegant, upright tree with a light and open canopy. Its slender, tapering, sparsely branched twigs emerge intense green, compressed and slightly twisted, with remarkable flexibility.
