Lane's Late Orange Tree has characteristics almost indistinguishable from Washington Navel. It differs in that the fruit has a smoother rind and because there is less limonin in the juice the flavour is sweeter. Lane's Late has no pips and will stay on the tree for months in good condition. Harvest is January.
The flowers have a wonderful perfume so they will fill a conservatory or greenhouse with fragrance. They needs full sun & well drained soil. Use citrus feed all year (summer food March to September, October to February, can be ordered at the same time to save extra P&P charge, please note feed brand may differ from the photo). Navel Orange Trees can be stood outside except in the coldest winter nights. Comes with free care sheet. If you are giving this item as a present we can include a printed message for you, and will do our best to deliver on a specific day (Mon-Fri) if requested.
Supplied as a FARMER's tree, this means they are as sold to citrus farmers, with a long straight stem and have not been trained into the final shaped tree as yet. Excellent value as you can make a tree with a trunk as long or as short as you want; they will make good tall standards or bushes, whichever you prefer. Pot size of 17cm, overall height of approx. 1.2m including pot, spread approx 20 cm. No fruit at present
