Origin
The Citrus sinensis 'Arancio', more commonly known as the orange tree, originates from Southeast Asia. The tree was introduced to Europe centuries ago via trade routes. Today, the orange tree is cultivated worldwide, primarily in subtropical and tropical climates.

Characteristics
Citrus sinensis 'Arancio' is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 9 meters tall. The leaves are dark green and glossy, while the flowers, which appear in late spring and early summer, are white and have a strong, pleasant fragrance. The fruits of the orange tree are round and orange in colour, often used in food for their juicy, sweet-sour taste.

Care
The orange tree requires full sun and well-draining soil to grow properly. In summer, the plant needs regular, deep watering, but in winter, the soil can dry out between waterings. It is essential to protect the plant from frost, as the orange tree is not frost hardy. Regular pruning is recommended to maintain the shape of the tree and to stimulate fruit production.
