The gold of Cap Bon orchards
Grown in North Africa since the Arab period, the Orange Tree made the reputation of entire regions such as Cap Bon in Tunisia, where the orchards are fragrant with spring blossom.
Evergreen and generous, it carries flowers and fruit at once, offering a continuous display and a winter harvest awaited all year.
"The orange tree flowers and fruits at the same time — a tree that never pauses."
