Citrus myrtifolia, or "myrtle-leaf orange", is a species of citrus with compact growth and thornless branches. The leaves are almost similar to those of the common myrtle.
The fruits resemble oranges, being called chinetto. It is good to know that the fruits are bitter and are used mainly to obtain preparations such as marmalade, the soft drink of the same name but also other drinks such as Campari or Cinzano.
Chinotto or chinotti, is a variety originating from China, which arrived on the coast of Italy sometime in the 18th century, brought by Genoese sailors. It is the emblem of Liguria.
In Romania, it is grown in pots/containers and reaches a height of 1.5-2 m. It can be kept outside until nighttime temperatures drop below zero - it can withstand short-term temperatures of up to -7 °C, but it is recommended not to be exposed to negative temperatures at all.

Note: There is a possibility that ripe fruit may fall during transport. Fruit may be in various stages of development, depending on the season. Plants are in different stages of development, with different levels of branching, depending on the season and batch.
