Citrus ×insitorum
Also called Carrizo Citrange
Citrange is a cold-hardy citrus hybrid of sweet orange and trifoliate orange, grown mainly as a rootstock for other citrus. Its fruit is generally bitter, so it is rarely grown for eating.
The citrange (a portmanteau of citrus and orange) is a citrus hybrid of the sweet orange and the trifoliate orange.
The purpose of this cross was to attempt to create a cold hardy citrus tree (which is the nature of a trifoliate), with delicious fruit like those of the sweet orange. However, citranges are generally bitter.
