About Trifoliate Orange, Flying Dragon
Twisted green branches with thorns. The fruit is sour and seedy, but can be used like a lemon. The hardiest citrus, it is also called Chicago-hardy and is rated for Zone 5. With our new zone rating we are hoping to hear of some trials in our area. Unlike other citrus, it loses its leaves, so can be wintered in a cold basement or a garage.
