ORANGE - LANES LATE

Orange - Lanes Late (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

I wanted to extend my orange season and I already had a Washington naval, which produced exceptional tasting and good sized fruit so I decided to give Lane's late a go and I wasn't disappointed.

The tree grew slow at the start but it has found its feet now and is doing well.

The fruit does mature slightly later than my other oranges, so it has helped to extend my orange season. Tastes great and juices well. Fruit set isn't prolific (unlike my Valencia) but I'm sure it will improve as the tree matures.

The tree itself is quite upright in growth and is just awesome in my backyard collection.

I live in a fruit fly prone area but the citrus are usually left alone and if stung the larva never develop - it also helps that the fruit ripening is through winter and the fruit fly numbers are lower.

I would definately recommend the Lane's late naval orange for the backyard.

some leaves eaten by bugs and also turning yellow. have applied white oil

Looks rather pitiful on 20 Nov 2012. Most of the leaves are yellow of have dropped off

Very happy with it. Applied Seasol every two weeks during the summer months and it seems to generate new growth and leaves. Applied blood and bones on dripping line on 1.3.13.

After a difficult start, this tree has settled but it is taking its time.

The oldest fruit tree in the garden (2 years old as of oct 2014). After difficult start, it is settling but haven;t grown as much as I thought it will be. I hope this tree will bear some fruits this coming summer. :)

After a slow start this tree is truly established. Havent grown much taller but have more branches and leaves. Also started flowering. Hope to eat the first fruit from this tree this year. Have consistently fertilised during winter and spring.
