This citrus variety produces eye-catching, slightly elongated fruits with striking orange and red striped rinds. Known for its fragrant white spring blossoms, the fruit of 'Arcobal' offers a unique blend of sweet and tart flavours, with the red flesh developing in response to significant temperature variations between day and night which often occurs later in the summer and autumn. Ideal for both ornamental appeal and culinary use, this plant is a standout choice for summers outdoors on the patio, and winter retreat to a heated glasshouse or conservatory.

How to care for Citrus Arcobal Orange:
For the best flavour, leave citrus fruits on the tree until they naturally drop when lifted. Water from the top, ensuring excess water drains away, and let the soil dry out between watering—adjusting frequency based on the season and plant conditions. Position your citrus tree in bright light, away from radiators, and consider moving it outside during summer, bringing it back indoors before temperatures drop below 5°C. Use citrus feed with each watering in summer and every 10-14 days in winter. If new growth appears pale, apply a citrus feed to correct nutrient deficiencies. Grow in citrus compost, repotting or top-dressing in late winter.
