Bloomsz Citrus Washington Navel Orange

Sweet and delectable, Washington Navel oranges are perfect for fresh eating and juicing. The seedless, easy to recognize 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.

Planting/Growing Information
Growing Instructions for Planting in the Ground:
- Choose your planting site. Trees should be planted 15’ apart and 15’ (dwarfs 8’) away from the house or other large trees. Citrus trees do not like standing water. They prefer sandy soils. A site that receives full sun works best, but at least 50% sun is needed. Planting on the southern side of a house, lake, or other structure that offers wind protection will help protect your tree from cold.
- Clear away weeds and grass. Dig a hole 8-10” larger than the root ball of the tree.
- IMPORTANT: Fill the hole with water.
- Remove the tree from the pot and place it in the water-filled hole. Plant at the level it was grown in the nursery (the same level as the top of the root ball). Do not put the bud union (graft) below the soil.
- Add soil back to the hole filling all air pockets under and around the root ball. (THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP.)
- Newly planted trees should be watered regularly (daily for the first week) for the first three months if rains are inadequate. After the first week, allow the soil to dry down before watering.
- DO NOT MIX FERTILIZER IN THE HOLE BEFORE PLANTING. However, you can spread fertilizer on the ground around the tree the same day you plant it. Fertilize at least every 3-4 months (November, March, June, and August). You can fertilize more often, just reduce the amount. Use a citrus fertilizer at a rate of 1-2 lbs. for every year of age. Fertilizer should be applied around the drip line of the tree, not up to the trunk. Fertilizer should contain minor elements, not just N-P-K. You can also use slow release fertilizer. Follow the instructions on the bag.
