Orange Plants

Orange trees are a timeless favorite among fruit lovers and gardeners alike, known for their vibrant foliage, sweet-smelling blossoms, and juicy, flavorful fruit that captures the essence of sunshine. These evergreen citrus trees not only provide an abundance of delicious oranges but also serve as stunning ornamental plants with year-round appeal. In spring, they burst into bloom with clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers that fill the air with a rich, citrusy fragrance—welcoming pollinators and delighting the senses. As the seasons progress, the flowers give way to round, bright orange fruits that mature in fall through winter, depending on the variety. Whether you're growing navel, Valencia, or blood oranges, the fruit is packed with natural sweetness, vitamin C, and refreshing juice, perfect for eating fresh, juicing, or using in countless culinary dishes. Orange trees thrive in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil, flourishing in USDA zones 9 through 11. Dwarf varieties are also excellent for container growing, allowing gardeners in cooler climates to bring their citrus indoors during the winter months.
