Didn't mention the main thing that people use trifoliate orange for, which is... as a rootstock for other citrus trees. It makes a superb rootstock which tolerates cold, heavy soils, and is disease resistant (downsides: slower growing and dislikes heat and dry soil). The fact that the fruit is full of seeds is good in this regard, because it's the seeds that people want from those fruits - to plant to grow into rootstocks for more desirable fruits! :)

My neighbor gave me a single fruit, telling me it was rare. I planted it immediately, just stuck it in the ground. It looks like a succulent, minimal small leaves, the stems growing in curlicues, covered with thorns. Last year, 2019, when it was about 7 feet tall, & 16 years old, it suddenly burst into the most fragrant tiny white flowers. Eleven flowers, and I got 11 fruits, covered in down. I put them aside for seeds, didn't try them. This year, the plant was covered in flowers, but it was cold & rainy, with no bees. But today I saw I'm going to have tons of fruit. This plant survived being indifferently transplanted, has never been fertilzed, & survived the mega-snows of 2009, completely covered for months. I love this little plant & will take him wherever I go. I didn't even know what it was until last year. I've read that the University of Alabama (?) has a Flying Dragon (it's common name) hedge that is 150 years old, that has kept generations of frat boys hedged in. I live in Zone 7- I don't know the limits of it's cold hardiness. It looks otherworldly with a nice 7 foot high Scotch Broom- also easy to do- though that's not as cold hardy. I love this plant. It's a member of the family. ☺💖🌱🍊

i think it's not toxic in the usual sense, but as with a lot of essential oils the terpene profile can trigger reactions. not a lot of people know that essential oils are notorious for causing dermatitis (like, more cases than maybe anything else), and yet people are always putting them on their skin. and it's a sensitivity that can develop with use. iirc i think the issue with trifoliata is that the juice has unusual levels of terpenes, but the skin is about the same as any other citrus skin

Trifoliate orange is one of the harder citrus to get growing from a cutting. It's best to take cuttings from wood that's year or so old. I've had moderate success by using rooting hormone and sticking them into a container of sterilized perlite with a bag over top. It can still take several months for them to put out roots. If you can get them it's better to use seeds, there are plenty of them (as shown in the video) and they root deeper. Also thanks to a quirk in citrus biology Trifoliate Orange (and quite a few other citrus breeds) usually produce clones of the parent tree when grown from seed, which is another reason they're commonly used as rootstock.

I live in Northern Virginia and I have one of these plants. Cold weather is not a problem. It is not invasive. It is in my front yard. The thorns on the plant are mighty. During the summer, I need to spray it about 3 times because tiny insects get under the leaves and they turn yellow and drop. In the spring, the bush gets covered with small white flowers. My bush is about 15 feet tall. The branches are very stiff and hard. Maybe the wood would be good for making knife handles? The fruit is extremely sour. Smelling the fruit leaves you with no doubt that this is a citrus plant. I obtained this plant from a company here in Virginia named "EdibleLandscaping.com". It was a cutting from a stem that they put a rooting hormone on and stuck it in a small pot. I went home and planted it. The big attraction for me was the gnarly shape of the stems and the huge thorns. If you plant this under your window, there is no burglar that would ever challenge it. It produces many many fruit and I have no pollinator for it. It pollinates itself. This link will take you to the website where I got mine. ediblelandscaping.com/products/tropicals/Citrus/TrifoliateOrange.php A basketball hoop is 10 feet tall.

I really love trifoliate orange; a grower near me has the flying dragon variety. The flavor is like no other citrus I've tried, but the resin they release is ridiculous to clean up. When I extract the fruit with vodka, all of my equipment takes a double application of CitraSolv degreaser/degummer to get most of it off. More resin recrystallizes after a week or so at the bottom of the bottle of the strained extract. Well worth it, though, for a really delicious extract I can use in cooking and cocktails.

We have a less seedy version of it in India. In West Bengal, we call it "paati lebu" in Bengali. It is really common here. It is used as lime.

Insecticide in rind I bet or some anti bug compound or human added treatment. I have trifoliate tree quite the slow above trunk grower as compared to a graft that is added.

Reminds me of the nasty full of seed "lemons" on my Meyer Lemon tree. Not lemony, mostly orangy lemony.

You've seemed familiar to me for a while without me being able to put my finger on it. You remind me of Charlie Cox in "Daredevil." Love your channel! Cool combination of foodie stuff and botany stuff (even if the latter is unintentional). Gives me a good idea of what I should and shouldn't try to grow.

Could she have gotten sick from it due to adverse effects with the citrus reacting with any medications? I know with grapefruit they advise you not to eat or drink the juice if you are taking certain medications

I would love to grow some of those seeds. So sad that there is a ocean separating me from the US.

It isn't the ocean, it is the pirates.

They are also common here in central Europe. You can order plants or seeds from many nurseries online and you can sometimes find the plants in parks. The plant is originally native to China.

I ate one while stationed in South Korea it was pretty tart. A local national told me it was poison as a joke and then ate it. It was smaller than the one you have and was fuzzy.
