Valencia Orange Tree (FL)

Valencia Orange Tree (FL)

The world's premier orange juice—late-season, nearly seedless, and bursting with sweet, richly colored juice right from your own tree.

Plant Highlights

• Type: Evergreen citrus / Fruiting container tree
• Light: Full sun—6+ hours daily; bright south- or west-facing window indoors
• Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings; do not let roots sit in standing water
• Temperature: 50–85°F / Bring indoors when temps drop below 50°F; protect from frost
• Growth: 4–8 ft. in containers; slow-growing with dense, glossy foliage
• Pet Safe: No—citrus plants can be mildly toxic to pets if ingested
• Origin: Possibly Spain or the Azores; now the global standard for juice production

Why You'll Love It

• Unrivaled juice yield—sweet, deeply colored, and nearly seedless; the variety the juice industry was built around
• Late-season harvest (spring into summer) that holds on the tree for months, extending your citrus season long after other varieties are done
• Often carries ripening fruit and next season's fragrant white blossoms simultaneously—a spectacular sight

Care Tips

• Water when the top inch of soil is dry—consistent moisture without waterlogging is key
• Feed monthly during spring and summer with a citrus-specific fertilizer; reduce in fall and winter
• Note: ripe fruit may develop slight regreening at the stem end in warm weather—this is cosmetic only and does not affect sweetness or quality

Shipping

• Ships within 1–3 business days
• Arrives in a citra pot—a tall, narrow container that promotes vertical root growth and prevents root circling
• Weather holds may apply during extreme heat (95°F+) or cold (34°F and below)
