Looking for a hardy and show-stopping addition to your landscape? Look no further than the Poncirus trifoliata, also known as the Trifoliate Orange or Chinese Bitter Orange. This member of the Citrus family boasts fragrant white flowers and masses of one and a half inch edible yellow fruit. Its dark green leaves and branches make a striking addition to any garden, while its thorny nature makes it a great barrier hedge option, particularly in the South. Native to northern China and Korea, the hardy Poncirus can tolerate moderate frost and snow, making it a popular choice for gardens in USDA zone 5. Its relative hardiness also makes it an excellent rootstock option for other citrus plants. Don't be put off by its bitter fruit - its marmalade and powdered versions make for unique and tasty condiments. Dip into the exotic with Poncirus trifoliata.
