- Hi, Everyone: I live in North Florida, and planted a naval orange tree a few years ago. I fertilized it according to directions, watered it about 1x week in summer and less during winter. Protected the root area during frost.
This year the tree bears its first fruit, 12 oranges. One orange fell to the ground during a storm, and I cut it open for inspection. It was awful. The dark pink flesh was super dry, had no flavor at all, and the peel was thin and hard. I don't have a clue as to what caused this problem. Or is this normal for oranges on a tree approx. 3-4 years old? Please let me know what you think might be wrong. Thanks!

- my tree is 10 feet tall, 4 years old, beautiful but no fruit. Have a yucca planted next to it. Could this be the reason for no fruit.
