Sylhet Orange Fruit Plant\
\
The Sylhet Orange is a distinctive, young citrus sapling originating from the Sylhet region (known locally as Hatkhora), valued immensely for its highly aromatic rind and unique culinary properties. This plant is a small, thorny evergreen tree, making it a robust addition for both garden and container growing, especially in warm, humid climates.\
Plant Features
- \
Botanical Group\: A Citrus species related to the wild orange/hatkhora, forming a compact, thorny evergreen tree. - \
Foliage and Blooms\: The tree is adorned with glossy green leaves and produces beautiful, fragrant white citrus flowers. - \
Fruit & Culinary Use\: The fruit is round to slightly oblong, about 6-7 cm in diameter, with a moderately thick rind that turns yellow when ripe. - \
Fruit Flavour\: The pulp is dry, very sour, and bitter, and is typically not eaten fresh. - \
Culinary Speciality\: The thick rind is the prized component. It is widely used in traditional recipes across Sylhet and Northeast India, where it is sliced and cooked in curries, dals, fish preparations, and pickles for an intense, strong citrus aroma. - \
Growth Potential\: Your 2-3 feet plant is a young sapling, ideal for container culture and shaping.
Growing Conditions & Care Tips
- \
Light Requirement\: Needs full sunlight, requiring at least 5-6 hours of direct light daily. In regions with extremely hot afternoons, providing light afternoon shade can help protect the leaves. - \
Soil\: Use well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral and enriched with organic matter. Ensure the potting medium or ground allows water to drain freely to prevent root rot. - \
Watering\: Maintain evenly moist soil, particularly in the first 2-3 years as the plant establishes. Avoid overwatering; the soil should not be soggy. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months. - \
Pot Size\: For the young 2-3 feet plant, use a container of at least 14-16 inches in diameter with adequate drainage holes to allow the roots to grow and keep the plant stable. - \
Feeding\: Apply a balanced citrus fertilizer 3-4 times during the active growing season to support healthy foliage and encourage flowering. - \
Climate\: Thrives best in tropical to subtropical environments with mild winters.
