I bought a dwarf Valencia orange tree today !
I'm going to grow it in a large plastic (clay lookalike) pot. Spent a very happy afternoon plnating it.
Wish me luck !

does it grow edible oranges?i saw an orange tree once but it said you couldn't eat the fruit.

Oh, yes ! They're called Valencia oranges, a good juice orange.

Fantastic, Deborah! You'll have the best juice! After reading about the different citrus some of the members grow, I'm feeling inspired to grow some...now if I just had more room indoors.

Even my growlights are getting restless!

Thanks ! I hope you find room, and if you don't have a Meyer lemon, I can heartily recommend getting one !
Mine is a delight ! Flowers, heavenly fragrance, good fruit, in my opinion it's the perfect tree !
If I could have only one tree all my life, it would be a Meyer lemon !

You all are so lucky! I cant buy one here , no citus at all, because of the cancre up in the middle of the state...
The house I moved from (downsizing for me and my dogs) had 14 navel orange trees and the most beautiful tangerine tree ive ever seen- easily 30 feet tall and when it fruited you could hardly see the green leaves...And when they blossomed-oh the scent was heavenly. *sigh*
Maybe I just have to move to California to be able to enjoy these beautiful trees again. (My daughter is in L.A. so I would have a great excuse.) Wishing you the very best success with your trees, [Smile] HB

Thank you, Handbright ! My little Valencia orange tree now has new growth, so I think she likes me !
Yes, come on out-we can always use good people !
