Orange Trees

8 responses

Sophie starts with ... Hi everyone, I would like your oppinions on which are the best variety of orange that I can plant in my backyard, I live in South Australia. I would like an orange with thick skins, easy peeling and sweet tasting for eating. I would also like an orange tree that doesn't grow overly big. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Leona says... Good choice...if you dont want a large tree, you can get dwarf Washington navels, on Flying Dragon rootstock (also very cold tolerant), although they are quite pricey. I have one and it has fruit on it, even though its been neglected quite a bit lol.	About the Author 11th April 2008 11:22pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees

Sophie says... I was just wondering now that I have planted my orange tree and that it is getting cooler quickly do they need to be protected from frosts? If so what would be the best thing. Thanks for any info!!!	About the Author Sophie SA 14th April 2008 1:00am #UserID: 782 Posts: 8 View All Sophie's Edible Fruit Trees

Laura Mckay says... Spray it with a product called ENVY, it is the best of the frost sprays, also cover the tree with an old sheet or similar if it looks like frost. It will need help for the first few winters.	About the Author Laura2 Mt Macedon, Vic 16th April 2008 10:30pm #UserID: 764 Posts: 32 View All Laura2's Edible Fruit Trees
