Its slender, tapering, sparsely branched twigs emerge intense green, compressed and slightly twisted, with remarkable flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--nlだが、その肥大が小さな葉の形をしているため、庭師はそれを「前葉」と呼んでいます。\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves, a beautiful uniform green, are medium-sized and elongated, borne on a winged petiole that gardeners call an \"avant-feuille\" due to its lateral dilation in the shape of a small leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe aromatic glands, characteristic of citrus fruits, are so fine here that they remain almost invisible\u003c\/strong\u003e. A single, stiff, oblique thorn grows in the axil of the leaves, persisting for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe flowers, small but intensely fragrant thanks to their essential oil vesicles, bloom in delicate clusters\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Rarely bearing seeds in our climates, this variety remains above all a collector's item, admired more for its rarity than for its taste qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plate is taken from Pierre-Antoine Poiteau and Pierre Jean François Turpin's \u003cem\u003eTraité des Arbres Fruitiers\u003c\/em\u003e (Treatise on Fruit Trees), a fruit encyclopedia published between 1807 and 1835, a major reference for 19th-century naturalist illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt combines the rigor of scientific drawing with a rare artistic sensitivity, characteristic of the great plates from the golden age of botanical illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinting, media, shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEach poster is printed using \u003cb\u003e12-color giclée printing\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ethe benchmark for art studios\u003c\/b\u003e for rendering fine tones, subtle gradients, and the most delicate botanical details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e200 gsm paper, soft matte finish, 0.26 mm thickness: \u003cb\u003ea rendering close to the original engraving\u003c\/b\u003e, sharp, without glare, designed for hanging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on \u003cb\u003eFSC-certified paper\u003c\/b\u003e, produced individually to order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eShipped in a rigid protective tube\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Poiteau Botaniste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58205010755968,"sku":"25f95e58-9b61-463a-881b-aff327f6860d","price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3356\/7360\/files\/81dd204e-eb94-4dc1-ad01-97887f91d582.jpg?v=1780557225","url":"https:\/\/shop.poiteau-botaniste.com\/en\/products\/bigarrade-douce-affiche-botanique-50x70cm","provider":"Shop Poiteau Botaniste","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
