Washington navel oranges are perfect for fresh eating and juicing. The seedless, easily recognized fruit has a prominent navel that is the growth of a second fruit embedded at the base of the first fruit. Smaller than the fruit in which it is embedded, it is also seedless and segmented. The flesh of a Washington navel orange has a firm texture, is moderately juicy and rich in flavor. The Dwarf Washington Navel Orange tree makes it ideal as an indoor container plant.

Growing Instructions: Washington Navel Orange trees are great indoor and outdoor patio plants. For best results, in the spring move your potted tree outdoors into full sun when the threat of frost is past. Bring it back indoors in the fall before the frost season begins. Fertilize regularly with high nitrogen formula, 5-3-3 ratio. Water thoroughly while letting the surface soil dry between watering. Do not overwater. Prune by pinching back the tips of new growth toward the interior branches. Remove any new growth or stems near the soil.
