How to Grow Navel Orange Trees

  1. Seed Starting Instructions
    Soak seeds in room-temperature water for 12–24 hours. Plant them about 1/2 inch deep in a moist, seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently damp but not waterlogged.

  2. Sunlight and Temperature
    Place the container in a location with at least 6 hours of daily sunlight. Maintain temperatures above 65°F for successful germination and growth.

  3. Transplanting
    When seedlings reach 4–6 inches in height with multiple sets of true leaves, transfer them to larger pots or plant directly into the ground.

  4. Maintenance and Watering
    Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Mulch around the base to help retain moisture and manage weeds. Apply balanced fertilizer during the growing season as needed.

  5. Harvest Timeline
    Trees grown from seed may take a few years to bear fruit. With consistent care, they can provide seasonal harvests and ongoing growth.

  • Soil requirements: Navel orange trees prefer well-draining, sandy loam soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. They thrive in soil that is rich in organic matter.
  • Sunlight needs: Navel orange trees require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to grow and produce fruit effectively.
  • Watering requirements: These trees need regular watering, especially during dry periods. Water deeply once a week, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during the winter months.
  • Planting season: The best time to plant navel orange seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. This allows the young trees to establish themselves during the growing season.
  • Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep in the soil. If planting multiple seeds, space them at least 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
  • Germination time: Navel orange seeds typically take 2-3 weeks to germinate under optimal conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist and warm to encourage germination.
  • Maturity time: Navel orange trees generally take 7-10 years to reach full maturity and produce a significant amount of fruit. However, some trees may start bearing fruit as early as 3-4 years.
  • Harvesting time: The best time to harvest navel oranges is in the late fall to early winter, typically from November to January. The fruit should be fully colored and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Harvesting tips: Use pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut the fruit from the tree, leaving a small stem attached. Handle the fruit gently to avoid bruising. Store harvested oranges in a cool, dry place or refrigerate them to extend their shelf life.
