Sweet juicy Orange seedles. Ripens around August and will hold on tree for some months to come after that

Plant in well worked soils in a sunny position and mulch to allow retention of water.

We recommend you fertilise three times per year - early Spring, early Summer and then a light application in Autumn.

Pests and diseases - we recommend a copper spray in winter to get rid of any fungicide issues and an oil spray in early Spring to account for any Thrip, Mite or scale that may be lurking.

N.B We only grow in 25 litre easy lift bag and tree will be approx 1.2-1.4m tall at time of sale.
