Ideal for small gardens, the Poncirus trifoliata Flying Dragon has a spread of 1 to 1.50 m and a height of 1.50 and up to 2 m after ten years. In April and May, it is covered with white flowers with five petals before producing, in autumn, beautiful hairy lemons with fragrant rind. Mainly decorative despite the fact that they are edible, these very acidic fruits work wonders in Potpourri or in natural arrangements. The Trifoliate Orange Flying Dragon also has dark green deciduous foliage which displays spectacular shades of yellow before it falls, revealing its tortured and very aesthetic branches.

Easy to grow, Poncirus trifoliata Flying Dragon is planted in acidic and draining soil and thrives in the sun, in pots, in a bed or as a defensive hedge.
