Having tried quite a few (and only killed one of them) I find 2 sorts
outstandingly reliable. These are calamondin orange xcitrofortunella
microcarpa and chinotto orange citrus myrtifolia. Both produce small
oranges. Chinotto is a sport of bitter orange and makes excellent
marmalade. calamondins sadly are to bitter to enjoy raw but not bitter
enough for marmalade
