Description for Orange Fruit, Santra ( Grafted ) Citrus trees grown as ornamental container plants may take up to five years to produce fruit. Container-grown ornamental orange trees are usually the dwarf varieties which grow to a height of 4 to 10 feet. Limited root space has the effect of stunting tree growth even if it is a standard variety. Citrus trees are damaged at frost temperature but can be grown in wintertime indoors. Pl ng and care Sunlight Provide direct sunlight for at least several hours daily. Move the plants outdoors for a few hours daily in the spring, increasing the time outdoors until the tree can stay outdoors for the summer. Bring the tree indoors in the fall. Soil A mixture of 1 part each potting soil, organic compost and per-lite or vermiculite. Water Water the tree as needed to keep the soil moist but not wet. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering. Fertilizer Fertilize your calamondin orange with a citrus formula or a slow-release formula specifically for acid loving plants during the growing season. Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength during the winter months. Caring for Orange Fruit Care and maintenance of the tree to keep it pest free will bring the rewards of fruit which ripens in the winter. They need pruning each year to maintain attractive shape. Cut all deadwood and crossing branches. Prune ornamental citrus to open the crown foliage to let in light and air.
