Orange - Dwarf Lanes Late Navel Dwarf Lanes 200mm Pot

Citrus sinensis

Description of plant at maturity:
Popularity: The Lanes Late Navel is a mutation of the Washington Navel and has similar fruit quality, but will hang on the tree until Christmas (late into December). This makes it an excellent variety to include in your garden for extended fruit availability.

Fruit: Medium sized fruit with few seeds, juicy flesh and thin skin.

Tree: The Lanes Late Navel grows only to 4m, but tends to have some thorns.

Main Harvest: It will fruit right throughout summer, making a wonderful complementry variety to the earlier fruiting oranges.

Uses:
The Lanes Late Navel is ideal for fresh eating and juicing.

Care: Water during the warmer months, especially when fruits are forming. In container water three to four days, more often in hot weather. Do no water the trunk. Fertilise in spring and late summer – early autumn with a fertiliser high in nitrogen, do not allow to touch trunk. Prune in late spring removing inside and weak growth and to shape the tree.

Planting: Add organic matter to the soil before planting. Dig hole twice the width of the container. Remover plant from container and place into the hole so the soil level is the same as the surrounding ground. Fill hole firmly and water in well even if the soil is moist. If planting in containers use a premium potting mix. The container should be a minimum size of approximately 60cm x 60cm.

Watering: Moderate water requirement

Position: Plant in a sunny position with well drained soil and sheltered from strong winds.

Height: 2-3m
