The Valencia Orange is considered the ‘juicing’ orange and is one of the most popular grown today. This evergreen fast-growing hardy tree produces fragrant creamy-white flowers, followed by a large-sized orange fruit with a tinge of green when ripe. They are juicier than other types of oranges and the longer the fruit is left on the tree the sweeter it will become. Perfect for planting in Mediterranean style gardens. Use for juicing, desserts, preserves or on its own as a healthy snack.
- Protect from strong winds especially during flowering or while fruit is forming.

| Planting Advice | Plant in a sunny, open position in well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root-ball. Take out the plant from the container and place the plant into the hole so that the soil level is the same as the surrounding ground. Fill in the hole firmly and water it well even if the soil is moist. To keep the tree free of grass and weeds, and to retain moisture, remember to mulch well but keep mulch away from the tree trunk to avoid collar rot. |
