Tree grown primarily for its deliciously juicy, sweet and tangy orange fruit and for making juice. Evergreen foliage works well planted with other tropicals, or for framing a view. Prefers moist, light, well-drained soil.

Naturally found on lake and river edges, swamps, or flooded sites, this large coniferous tree is unique in that it loses its needles. Will grow in normal garden soil, and even tolerate drought once established.
