Navel Orange Tree - Citrus sinensis

Navel Orange Tree (Citrus sinensis)

Grow your own supply of the world's most beloved orange variety right in your home or garden. Navel oranges are prized for their natural sweetness, convenient seedless segments, and ease of peeling—making them perfect for snacking straight from the tree. When you buy Navel orange trees online from Florida Plant Nursery, you receive a mature, ready-to-fruit specimen that begins producing in as little as one year.

Landscaping Uses

Plant your Navel orange tree in a sunny garden bed, orchard setting, or large container on a patio or balcony. These trees thrive in warm climates and make excellent focal points in landscape designs while providing years of abundant harvests. They work well as standalone specimens or grouped with other citrus varieties to create a productive edible garden.

Planting & Care

Position your tree where it receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Plant in a pot with drainage holes using quality citrus-formulated potting soil, or transplant directly into well-draining garden soil. Water deeply when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch—typically once weekly. During spring and summer, apply citrus-specific fertilizer every six weeks; reduce to every 2–3 months in fall and winter. Prune dead or crossing branches at 45-degree angles to improve air circulation and light penetration through the canopy.
