Description:
Citrus 'Troyer' is a hybrid of the 'Washington' navel orange and the trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) which is extremely hardy and should survive well outdoors on the West Coast down to at least -15 degrees Celsius making it one of the hardiest of citrus, almost as hardy as yuzu. The round light orange fruit are tart like a lemon with a touch of sugar. While edible for fresh eating, there are other citrus, albeit non-hardy that are sweeter, but 'Troyer' fruit will be useful in drinks and various dishes and great for bragging rights with your foodie and gardening friends. All of our citrus are grafted onto C-35 citrange, trifoliate orange, or other semi-dwarfing rootstock which confer good hardiness and production while reducing overall tree size.
