Poncirus trifoliata, also known as Hardy Orange, is a cold-tolerant citrus relative widely used as a rootstock for other citrus trees. Its thorny structure, deciduous habit, and tolerance to adverse conditions make it ideal for hedges and hardy landscapes. While its fruit is bitter and not typically consumed fresh, it plays a vital role in hybridization and grafting practices.
