Orange Bonsai Tree For Different Bonsai Choice

Orange trees appear frequently in bonsai collections. Often referred to as miniature orange, the calamondin orange (Citrofortunella microcarpa) is perfect for practicing the ancient Oriental art. This relatively small citrus tree’s fullness, beauty and nearly year-round flowering and fruiting habits make it a highly desirable bonsai subject. Calamondin seeds start readily and grow true to variety. Your miniature orange bonsai will fruit in about 2 to 3 years from planting. Among the hardiest of citrus trees, the calamondin thrives in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 11.
