Flying Dragon Bitter Orange (Poncirus trifoliata 'Flying Dragon') is a unique, highly ornamental citrus relative known for its striking twisted branches, dense thorns, and small, round fruits. This hardy deciduous shrub is prized for its architectural beauty, with contorted, spiraling stems that add year-round visual interest to gardens and landscapes. The bright yellow-orange fruits, about the size of a golf ball, have a bumpy, slightly fuzzy rind and a highly aromatic scent. While not typically eaten fresh due to their strong bitterness, they are often used for making preserves, flavoring, and aromatic extracts.
Exceptionally cold-hardy compared to true citrus, Flying Dragon can withstand temperatures well below freezing, making it one of the few citrus relatives that thrive in temperate regions. It grows well in well-drained soil and full sun, forming a dense, impenetrable barrier when planted as a hedge. The plant’s thorny, twisting growth habit makes it an excellent natural security fence, while its fragrant white blossoms attract pollinators in spring. Whether grown as a striking ornamental specimen, a conversation piece, or for its aromatic fruits, Flying Dragon Bitter Orange is a standout addition to any garden.
