If you wish to grow your own rootstock and experiment with budding or grow a barrier hedge, then this plant is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrifoliata trees are highly cold-hardy and can tolerate temperatures as low as -23°C. Because of its cold tolerance, and partial disease resistance it is often used as rootstock for grafting other citrus varieties, imparting cold hardiness to the grafted tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrifoliata trees are a thorny, deciduous tree that can reach heights of up to 4.5 meters tall. One notable feature of trifoliata trees are its long, sharp thorns, which cover the branches and stems. These thorns serve as a defence mechanism against browsing animals and make the plant useful for creating hedges or barriers. The plant produces fragrant white flowers in spring, followed by small, round, green fruits that ripen to orange in early winter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrifoliata, Trifoliata Orange, \u003ci\u003ePoncirus trifoliata\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEast Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature Size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 4.5m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoliage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has distinctive trifoliate leaves, meaning each leaf is composed of three leaflets.
