Its flowers are white and very aromatic. The orange tree, both sweet and bitter, is from the family of the Rutáceas, genus Citrus, species Citrus sinensis. In commercial plantations, the trees are of reduced size and have a single trunk with three main branches that come out from a height between 50 and 80cm. To plant an orange tree it is important to know that it starts during the rainiest season. Being the ideal temperature for the orange crop when it oscillates between 23 to 32 ° C, nevertheless bear in mind that in what refers to how to plant oranges that its resistance to low temperatures depends a lot on the type of crop. You must bear in mind that when it comes to how to plant oranges this plant is not suitable for warm regions, with temperatures above 32 ° C, although if you can have a controlled irrigation you can solve this problem.
