Introduction
The orange is a usually round or oval citrus; its rind and flesh are generally orange, except the varieties of red pulp.
Uses
Orange as a key ingredient for making:
- Juice
- Sauce
- Oil
- soap
Growing Orange
Sandy loam soil that drains well is ideal for growing citrus trees. The goal is to achieve a balance and move your native soil in the direction of a sand to silt loam that is rich in organic matter, retains moisture to a degree, but also drains well enough to never remain soggy
Sowing and harvest period
Some oranges can take up to 15 months to mature fully, while others need only 8-12 months. Citrus fruits will not ripen off the tree, so refrain from picking them too early. The best indicator of ripeness is taste.
