Seville Orange

Botanical Name:   citrus aurantium Linn  Family:   Rutaceae 

This tree had been planted in the garden with no success.   
In 1970,  I decided to dig it out and grow it in a pot,  as it seem to grow better potted up.  A year later I decided to train  it as a bonsai.  
The fruit crop on this tree are removed as they grow quite large. The second crop of the season  don't grow as big, giving the tree a better effect.  
Presently, the tree  stands at 30 inches high.
