Ornamental potted citrus trees bring an elegant touch to your outdoor space, with their glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant white blossom, and vibrant sun-warmed fruit. The combination of their slender branching habit and leafy canopy adds a shapely accent too. So it's no surprise designers are saying they're the ultimate status symbol if you're looking for ideas to enhance your garden.
There is something magical about growing your own lemons or oranges, especially if you're a small-space urban gardener, as they don't take up much room. Ideal for pots and planters, citrus trees thrive in a sunny, sheltered spot and do well in large planters on a small patio, terrace or balcony. They can easily be moved indoors during colder months, too. Compact and easy to care for, give them the right conditions, and they will thrive for years, taking center stage in any Mediterranean garden ideas you may have in mind.
