Naranjas amarga sevilla para sombra y mermelada.
Bought 2 bitter-orange trees (@ 15€), in the first place for marmalade, then noticed these are very tall trees. Why not plant these along the terrace and the pool for shade, as they do in Vera, and, Sevilla? So went back to Alonso Vera and bought 4 more, even taller ones, @ 20€.
They don't have tall branches, nor a decent root ball, despite their containers being big, but I'm assured these grow very vigorously. And we'll have a nice shaded area in no time.
These knobbly oranges are inedible, they are very bitter. But, these are the ones to make marmalade, and the true Canard à l'Orange, where regular oranges are far too sweet. We'll see. In Dutch these are called: "pomerans".
