More Info: Sometimes referred to as the Myrtle-leaf orange, Chinotto oranges are somewhat acidic, depending on the growing climate, and are extremely bitter due to oils from the pith and skin. The tree grows very slowly and has a dwarf compact habit. The leaves are small, dark green in color, and lanceolate in shape. A particularly attractive small tree, Chinotto is prized for its dense foliage, profuse fragrant flowers, and bright orange fruit. Fruit is delicious candied, crystallized, made into marmalade or for juice or bitter liquor.
