BRAND CITRINA®
Your little tree CITRINA® is at least three years old when it reaches you. Nurtured from seed, it has undergone a three-year process of rigorous monitoring and loving care. The Portuguese brand CITRINA® also uses a precise, time-honoured technique to ‘cross’ different varieties to combine the best characteristics of each plant. Your CITRINA®’s life starts with a dormant seed germinated in a controlled greenhouse environment. As it grows, the stem reaches the right width and height to be grafted. Another CITRINA® that bears the fruit you see on your plant is then grafted onto the rootstock. The Portuguese brand CITRINA® uses a specific dwarfing rootstock for the potted CITRINA®. It has tough disease-resistant roots, a sturdy stem and dark, healthy leaves. The plant flowers heavily, aromatically and produces an abundance of zesty fruit. During its first two years of life, your CITRINA® is carefully nurtured by experts who ensure it gets just enough water and food to grow into a healthy, thriving plant. Plants are monitored daily and occasionally pruned to encourage the bushy growth and shape that looks so attractive in your home.
