Orange Valencia Seedless – Various Sizes
Orange Valencia Seedless is a neat compact growing evergreen fruiting tree. The foliage is a lovely rich green which holds its colour all year round. Petite white fragrant blooms appear in late Summer and Spring. Following the blooms, large rounded orange fruits with thin skin and no seeds develop. The fruit is very juicy, the first harvest in Spring followed by a second crop in Summer. Ideal eaten fresh or used in cooking. Fertilise Orange Valencia throughout the peak growing seasons. Low water requirements through Winter, however, keep the tree well-watered throughout Summer.
All Citrus will take up to 3 years to produce a harvestable crop. It isn’t uncommon in the first 12-18 months for the fruit to form on the tree but be undersize or lacking flavour. In the first 12 months the tree will be establishing its roots into the soil, the second year you should be establishing the framework of the tree and then in the third year, they should begin to crop. Uneven weather conditions can also affect the fruiting times, crops and yield.
