Orange Plant (Grafted) - Santara, Santra, Narangi, Citrus Reticulata

Grafted Orange Plant (Santara Plant)

Grafted Santara Orange Plant (Citrus reticulata) is a popular fruit tree prized across India for its sweet, juicy, and easy-to-peel oranges. Originating from the Nagpur region but now grown throughout India, Santara oranges are known for their excellent flavor, high vitamin C content, and medicinal properties. Our plants are professionally grafted to ensure early fruiting (typically within 2-3 years), better disease resistance, and higher yield compared to seed-grown plants. The tree features glossy dark green leaves, fragrant white flowers, and bright orange fruits that bring both ornamental beauty and practical harvests to your garden. Santara oranges are smaller than regular oranges, with a looser peel that makes them easy to eat, perfect for children and adults alike. This versatile fruit tree can be grown in the ground or in large containers, making it suitable for gardens of all sizes across various Indian climate zones.
