Citrange

Citrange, scientifically known as Citroncirus webberi, is a hybrid citrus plant belonging to the Rutaceae family. Native to subtropical regions of the United States and Mexico, it thrives in hardiness zones 6-9, where it can withstand mild winters. This versatile tree is known for its edible fruit, which can be consumed raw or used in various culinary applications such as jams, jellies, and baked goods. The fruit's zest is also utilized to add flavor without incorporating the entire flesh. Citrange is also valued as an ornamental tree due to its attractive foliage and fragrant blossoms. It can grow in a variety of soil types, including light (sandy), medium, and heavy (clay), and requires full sun exposure for optimal growth. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, but it should be avoided to prevent root rot.
