78th Fete du Citron - the 5000 Euro Orange Tree


Alongside all the amazing displays in the Jardin Bioves, you'll find oranges and lemons for sale - and orange and lemon trees too. How about this one for 5000 euros. It's a mature tree and perhaps a rare variety but that's a lotta money...

Dans le Jardin Biovès, à côté de tous les étonnants motifs, vous trouverez des oranges et des citrons destinés à la vente ainsi que des orangers et des citronniers. Que pensez vous de celui-ci pour 5000 euros? C'est un arbre à maturité et peut-être d'une variété rare, mais c'est beaucoup de l'argent...

  4. Wow! Whole Foods is selling Sumo mandarines for $ 2.99 a pound. I saw they at Marukai (Japanese market) for $ 1.99 each. They are delicious! So maybe 5000 euros for a mature tree is the right price?

  7. Beautiful at any price. I remember the first time I bought lemonade at the festival and declined the proffered sugar. Big Mistake.

  8. Are you sure it's a price?! It's really expensive, and I don't think any orange tree is worth so much money!This being said, the first picture gives the desire to bite it and to eat the fruit! :)

  11. Ah, but isn't it glorious that the value of maturity has been recognized, at least in the pricing of this particular tree.

  14. You should loosen the soil for annual plants up to a depth of 12 inches and for perennials up to a depth of 18 inches. Rake the dirt to make it smooth, and then plant the plants at the same level in the soil as in the container. Tree Nursery
