| Botanical Name | Citrus sinensis 'Sanguinelli' |
| Description | The Sanguinelli Blood Orange is a premier Spanish cultivar prized for its deep pigmentation and complex, tart flavor profile. This 3-gallon (3G) tree is a compact and vigorous grower, making it one of the best choices for Houston and Willis patio containers. The fruit features a smooth, orange rind that often develops a heavy red blush, while the interior flesh is a striking, deep blood-red. It is known for its high juice content and a unique flavor that balances sweetness with a hint of raspberry. Because success in Southeast Texas depends on winter care, you must protect from freeze (especially the graft). With its glossy evergreen leaves and fragrant white blossoms, Sanguinelli provides both ornamental beauty and a delicious late-winter harvest. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (8+ hours daily for best fruit color and juice quality) |
| Height x Width | 10-12' Height x 8-10' Width (Smaller in containers) |
| Water | Moderate; prefers deep, infrequent watering once established. Ensure excellent drainage, as citrus trees are highly susceptible to root rot in heavy clay or poorly-drained pots. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Hardy to roughly 28°F; protect from hard freezes) |
| Fertilization | Apply a specialized citrus fertilizer three times per year: late winter (Feb), late spring (May), and late summer (Aug/Sept). |
| Pruning | Minimal; remove suckers growing from the rootstock below the graft line and prune for shape in early spring after the risk of frost has passed. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
