Dwarf orange tree blooms year round?
Looking to get a dwarf orange tree that is already blooming with nice fruits. I’ve heard the Washington Navel blooms 12 months a year? I live in Minnesota so would be growing it indoors. Are they self-pollinating? Would love a little grove of apples, meyers lemons, key limes, bananas etc. I’d like to start with oranges. Thanks!
Your plant zone area is what will make the difference as to what varieties of each fruit tree you can grow.
Their are some that can take to 5 – 10. Now blooming 12 months a year is fine. The inmportant part is what ‘sets’ as fruit. If you have a large garage, or barn where you can move these tree, and I would probably stay in the dwarf variety. (standards get reater large and heavy, Cirtrus & tropical’s does not like cold to well. You will have to keep them warm. We use christmas C-9 lights wraped around the trunks during the fall, winter and spring frost times to keep them warm. A grove of apples would be right at home.
I would contact your local Agriculture extention office in your area. They can advise you on what varieties have passed the test of time in your area.
Also contact the place below they can give you a head up also.
