How to Grow Washington Navel Oranges

Growing Washington Navel Orange trees is a rewarding experience, whether you have a suitable outdoor climate or need to grow them in containers in cooler regions. These citrus trees thrive in full sun, so choose a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.

They prefer fertile, well-drained soil with a pH level around 7. Regular watering is necessary to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. In cooler climates, container cultivation is an excellent option. Select a large container with good drainage and use a high-quality potting mix. Place the container in a sunny spot, such as a patio or near a south-facing window and protect it from frost or cold drafts.

Pruning can help manage the size of the tree and promote optimal fruit production. Fertilize the tree with a citrus-specific fertilizer according to the package instructions. With proper care and attention, you can enjoy the beauty and delicious fruit of your Parent Washington Navel Orange tree!
