Washington Navel

Dwarf citrus trees are just like their normal counterparts, except that they have been grafted onto a special rootstock that causes them to remain compact. Washington Navel Oranges are the most popular backyard orange grown in Australia, producing oranges that ripen mid Winter. The fruit is medium to large in size, very sweet and juicy, relatively easy to peel and are seedless. This type of orange tree is suited to colder climates. The foliage it has is light to dark green and is glossy. Grows best in full sun or partial shade. They’re now available in a dwarf variety. This innovation allows you to grow citrus trees in small spaces, or grow several different varieties where you may only have room for one normal tree.
