Most fragrant citrus
I want to buy a citrus, either lemon or orange for the purpose of fragrant flowers and for butterflies. I have a huge pot for this one. Which citrus has most fragrant flowers which also flowers profusely?

Khabbab Khatta narangi is used as rootstock in Punjab where as Naragi surukh is used as root stock in KPK.

Thanks Umar Khan. How to check this narangi is surkh or khatti? Leaves different? Any picture?

Re: Most fragrant citrus
Get a Kamkat bush, small compact and full of flowers. Kamkat is grafted on Narangi and if you are not careful about cutting the water shoots or side shoots you will soon find out what a Khatti is.
