නාරං (Naran) / Citrus

The budded Naran (citrus) plant is a cultivated variety of citrus, typically grafted onto a hardy rootstock to ensure better growth, disease resistance, and high fruit yield. This method of propagation allows the plant to retain the desirable traits of its parent tree while benefiting from a robust root system.

• Leaves: Dark green, glossy, and aromatic.

• Flowers: Small, white, and fragrant, attracting pollinators.

• Fruits: Round to slightly oval, with a bright orange to yellow peel when ripe. The fruit is juicy, tangy-sweet, and rich in vitamin C.

Benefits
