Had my one and only fruit off this about a month ago.  It's only been in for about a year, so I took 99% of the flowers off.....just wanted 1 for a taste.  Very nice orange, but probably not as "orangy" as I would have liked.  Hopefully will get better with age.

Dwarf Orange - Navelina (Grafted) ^5/10

Comments: -

Only a young tree.  Has struggled a little as I moved it after a few months as I (and it) was not happy with the original location.  Seems to be coming back and I anticipate good growth over the next 12 months.

I let the sweet potato take over a bit and drown out this tree a little.  Have just cut it back so am hoping it will struggle on - may replace it I think as I am losing patience.

OOPS - HAS DIED.
