Citrus 'Fruit Salad'
Fruit Salad Citrus Tree is a unique, multi-grafted tree that produces several different types of citrus on a single plant. It’s a highly functional and space-saving option that brings both ornamental value and edible harvest into the landscape.
The foliage is glossy, deep green, and evergreen, forming a dense canopy that gives the tree a lush, healthy appearance year round. Depending on the grafts, the tree may produce a mix of lemons, limes, oranges, or mandarins, creating a dynamic and ever-changing display.
One of its most appealing features is the ability to harvest different fruits from the same tree at different times of the year. This staggered production extends the fruiting season and adds variety without needing multiple trees.
In spring, it produces fragrant white citrus blossoms that add both visual interest and a strong, fresh scent to the garden. The flowers are followed by developing fruit, often in different stages at the same time.
It typically grows with a rounded canopy and can be maintained at a manageable size with pruning, making it suitable for smaller yards, patios, or even large containers.
Fruit Salad Citrus Tree grows best in full sun and prefers well drained soil. It benefits from regular watering, feeding, and protection from extreme cold.
It typically reaches about 8 to 15 feet tall and wide, depending on how it is pruned and maintained. It is well suited for USDA zones 9 through 11. The foliage is evergreen.
This plant has low toxicity, though the fruit is the primary edible portion.
The flowers attract pollinators such as bees.
It is moderately deer resistant, though new growth may be browsed.
Fruit Salad Citrus Tree fits especially well into Mediterranean, edible, and patio garden designs, where it can serve as both a focal point and a productive feature.
It pairs well with plants like Lavandula ‘Provence’ to complement the Mediterranean aesthetic and attract pollinators, Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Tuscan Blue’ to create a functional and fragrant pairing, and Fragaria vesca (Strawberry) to introduce a low, edible ground layer beneath the canopy.
Each tree is unique bearing different varieties, so be sure to ask for availability prior to purchase. Fruits typically range from Orange, Lemon, Pomelo, Mandarin, Lime, and Grapefruit.
