Growing orange trees in your own backyard can be a rewarding experience, with the promise of juicy, sweet fruit straight from the tree. Here are some tips to help your orange tree thrive.
Choose the Right Variety: There are several varieties of orange trees to choose from, including the popular Valencia, Navel and Blood Orange. Choose a variety suitable for your climate zone and the space available in your garden.
Provide Sufficient Sunlight: Orange trees thrive in full sun and need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a sunny location in your garden to plant your orange tree to promote growth and fruit production.
Water Regularly: Orange trees need regular watering, especially during dry periods and during the growing season. Keep the soil evenly moist by watering deeply when the top inch of the soil feels dry.
