Orange trees grow as moderate size evergreen plants that bear citrus fruits and can be kept as large shrubs. They grow and are can be kept 5 to 15 feet tall, but can become larger. Orange trees grow in full sun and well draining slightly acidic soils. Use high quality organic mix with washed sand and small amount of citrus food fertilizer for good soil structure, proper nutrition to have nice growth and good fruit production for plentiful harvests. Water newly planted trees once or twice per week (1-2x/week) deeply.
How frequently to water depends on factors such as the temperature, season, wind speed, humidity(%), plant size, and the soil and/or media the tree is growing. Trees have white blossoms with amazing citrus aromas. Trees can produce fruit multiple times per year. They are one of the most popular fruit trees to buy in Los Angeles and Orange County, California.
