The fruits can be picked at any time after ripening and will retain their flavour on the tree for several months.

Your miniature tree loves plenty of light and really dislikes frost. You can pop it outdoors in our warmer summer months - but it is a sensitive sole, so you will need to acclimatise it by being moved first to a slightly shaded area outside for two weeks before being put in a sunny spot for the summer; vice versa when they are coming back inside for winter.

Orange Trees can tolerate temperatures down to 4°C (even 2°C for short periods), but no frost please. They are also good with high temperatures, but prefer to be at neither extreme for too long. Indoor heating isn't ideal for these trees, so pop your Tree on a windowsill clear of radiators.

Water less often in winter (without letting the pot dry out completely) and increase the amount of water once growth starts in the spring - the compost should always be moist. Ensure you never over water, which can drown its poor roots, if you spot a line of water through the opal glass pot just tip the excess water down the sink.
