The PERFECT CITRUS TREE For Container Gardening: Moro BLOOD ORANGES!



In today’s 2 minute garden tip, I show you the perfect citrus tree for container gardening: the Moro Blood Orange! This citrus variety makes growing oranges in containers so easy, anyone can do it! Even people in cold climates can be growing citrus trees like this!

While Moro Blood Oranges are frost tolerant, temperatures below 25°F (-3.9°C) can cause damage if exposed too long. For this reason, growing this citrus variety in a container is recommended if your climate gets colder than 25°F. Blood oranges excel in containers, so this is the perfect fruit tree to grow if growing citrus trees in containers is something you’d like to do.

Blood oranges have a very unique flavor different than the common orange found in grocery stores. They have few seeds, are extremely juicy, are lower in acid than most citrus, and they have hints of berry flavor. This video includes a citrus taste test near the end. This blood orange tree is easy to grow, and it’s a great citrus variety to try growing citrus in containers at home.

  1. I live in Leland and would love to have a blood orange tree. Is there a reputable nursery to get these plants from? Also I noticed the grape plants on your Amazon store. I would love to grow grapes for wine making. Have you had success with grape plants? Your You Tube channel is very good!

  2. I just got a sanguinelli blood orange sapling. I intend to plant it in the ground where I live though cause Florida. It is on a dwarf root cause I intend to prune it small

  3. You got me running to order another citrus, LOL. Just placed an order for this one, and variegated pink lemon!
    Your blood orange looks amazing!
    I'm a new citrus grower, with almost 0 experience. I've seen the soil that you recommend. But I put mine in regular potting soil before I saw your video. Can they grow in regular potting soil, or would you move them to more draining type?

  4. are these blood orange trees dwarf or just regular? I think mine are regular trees but I would like to put them in containers, please advise. thank you!

  5. Awesome stuff .. I watch all your fig videos as well 🙂
    I was interested to get Moro blood orange tree as well. If you don't mind, can you tell where did you get your or any trustable source ..
    Thanks!!

  6. I have had fruit on my tree for months now! They are orange but tiny little buggers. How long does it take for them to get to size? They’ve just been so tiny for so long. I was wondering, if they are intended to be small. 😂😊
