The Orange 'Valencia' Dwarf is a versatile and productive citrus tree, celebrated as the "King of Juice Oranges." Its medium-sized, thin-skinned fruit is nearly seedless, exceptionally sweet, and juicy, making it ideal for fresh-squeezed orange juice or snacking. The fruit ripens in late spring through summer, providing a refreshing harvest during the warmer months.
This dwarf variety is perfect for smaller spaces, thriving in gardens, as a citrus hedge, or in large containers. Its evergreen foliage, fragrant white blossoms, and golden fruit add year-round ornamental value to any landscape. The tree is easy to care for, requiring full sun, well-draining soil, and regular feeding with a balanced citrus fertilizer.
The 'Valencia' is a great choice for gardeners who want a reliable, productive tree that supports pollinators and provides delicious, homegrown fruit.
