Orange 'Arnold's Blood'
Citrus sinensis 'Arnold's Blood Orange'
WCITBOC
An Australian bred variety discovered by Mike Arnold in South Australia, 'Arnold's Blood Orange' colours well in most Australian areas south of Sydney. Optimal colour is achieved in the colder areas, but some pigmentation will occur, even in warmer areas. Producing ample fruit with few seeds, they are sweet and juicy with that lovely blood orange tang. An excellent small tree for most gardens. Grafted on Carrizo Citrange rootstock.

How to grow
All citrus trees need plenty of sun and good drainage, so a position in full sun in a raised garden bed is ideal. The roots of citrus grow close to the surface, so it's best to mulch beneath the tree to avoid competition from other plants or weeds. Heavy feeders, fertiliser should be applied monthly to ensure they have nutrients available at all times. Apply blood and bone, dynamic lifter or a citrus fertiliser once a month, every month. Citrus will grow in all Australian climates. Use your Heat Zone (HZ) to determine the best varieties for your area.
