About Eremorange

The Eremorange brings together Citrus glauca, the Australian desert lime 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. Its drought tolerance, its most notable feature at our nursery, should not be confused with having no need for water. Fruit quality and characteristics can vary between the selections in circulation.

Our observations at the nursery

At the nursery, the Eremorange stands out for its excellent drought resistance.

Eremorange or another variety?

The Eremorange is above all for growers of rare and hardy citrus. For a classic dessert orange, a Citrus sinensis will suit you better. To explore further, see our “Australian citrus” category.
