Charming and Unique Orange Tree

'Weeping Dragon' is an ornamental citrus variety that is completely unique! A cross between Flying Dragon trifoliate orange and a Cipo sweet orange, this vibrant fruiting tree produces dozens of small, sour fruits. 

Distinct for the lovely, fragrant orange blossoms that arrive in late winter, the 'Weeping Dragon' is also known for its signature cascading branches. It's an ideal specimen for planting in pots for indoor enjoyment, or outside as a small accent for pool or patio areas.

This incredible hybrid tree is still relatively new, making it a delightful addition to your landscape. The 'Weeping Dragon' is of particular interest to southern state homeowners who are interested in ornamental and novelty citrus specimens. Order this hardy and easy to grow tree today!

Pollination Info

Weeping Dragon Orange Tree Pollination

Weeping Dragon Orange Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Weeping Dragon Orange Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: First, choose a planting location in full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). The plant will tolerate partial shade but its citrus production might be reduced.

The Weeping Dragon Orange Tree prefers moist, well-draining soil but is tolerant of many soil types and conditions.

When you're ready to plant, dig a hole that is twice the size of the plant’s root system and just as deep (or select a container, with drainage holes, that's twice the width of your plant's shipped container). Place the plant into the hole and carefully backfill, tamping the soil down around the root system. Finally, apply a 3-inch layer of mulch such as pine needles, bark chips, recycled plastic chunks, or peat moss around the base to deter weed growth and keep the soil moist.

2. Watering: Keep the soil around the plant moist, watering once or twice weekly. Once the Weeping Dragon Orange establishes itself, it can typically live on annual rainfall with no supplemental watering required unless a drought occurs.

If you're not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 2 inches down. If the soil is dry there, it's time to water.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize annually using a 15–5–19 fertilizer formula, divided into three applications per year: Half applied in July, one quarter applied two months later in September, and the remaining quarter 4 months later, in November.

4. Pruning: Remove any shoots that appear below the graft union (where the two grafted stems join toward the bottom), and remove any dead or damaged branches. The Weeping Dragon Orange withstands pruning well and can be shaped into a small-sized tree if desired.
