'Flying Dragon' is usually grown for its unique form and foliage rather than its fruits. The leaves are green and glossy, lending an interesting texture. The contorted and twisted branches, especially striking with a dusting of snow in the winter, have a certain beauty to them.

When it comes to maintenance, 'Flying Dragon' should be watered during dry conditions and pruned in late winter or early spring to maintain the preferred size and shape. It can be fertilized in early spring just before new growth begins.

The plant is also known for its hardiness. It is cold tolerant down to approximately -9 degrees Celsius. This makes it suitable to grow in colder regions, a rarity for citrus plants.

In addition, it is immune to most common pests and diseases, making it a very easy shrub to care for. However, you may need to watch out for typical citrus pests like citrus leaf miner and citrus thrips, especially if the plant is grown outdoors.

Overall, 'Flying Dragon' is an interesting addition to any garden thanks to its unique form and hardiness. Whether it's grown for its unusual look, for its fruit, or to create a dense, thorny hedge, 'Flying Dragon' will certainly stand out.
