Key Features:

• Ripens in late autumn to winter, providing a seasonal harvest.

• Benefits from soils enriched with organic matter for enhanced growth and fruiting.
• Planting Instructions:
• Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination.
• Sow seeds 1–2 cm deep in nutrient-rich soil, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged.
• Germination typically occurs within 2–4 weeks in warm conditions.
• Watering:
• Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells and fruiting seasons.
• Avoid overwatering, as oranges are sensitive to waterlogging.
• Pruning:
• Prune annually in late winter to early spring to remove dead or weak branches and encourage airflow.
• Maintain a manageable size for easy harvest and better sunlight penetration.
Uses and Benefits:
• Culinary:
