About Eremorange
The Eremorange brings together Citrus glauca, an Australian citrus at home in dry conditions, and the sweet orange. It should not be approached as a classic orange: its interest lies in its hybrid character, its resilience and its unusual aromatic profile. Fruit quality and characteristics can vary between the selections in circulation.

Eremorange or another variety?
