🍊 Grafted Dwarf Washington Navel Orange Tree

Bring home the classic taste of Washington Navel oranges in a compact, garden-friendly tree.

The Grafted Dwarf Washington Navel Orange is an excellent choice for Sydney gardeners who want to grow fresh citrus without needing a large backyard. Its naturally compact growth makes it particularly suitable for small gardens, courtyards and large pots or containers.

Washington Navel oranges are loved for their sweet, juicy flavour, easy-to-peel skin and excellent eating quality. They are a fantastic home-grown snack and can be enjoyed fresh, juiced or added to desserts and salads.

Because this is a grafted tree, it can produce fruit much earlier than a tree grown from seed, making it a popular choice for home gardeners wanting to establish a productive backyard orchard sooner.

🌱 Growing & Fruiting

For the best results, plant your Dwarf Washington Navel Orange in a position receiving full sun, preferably with good air circulation and well-drained soil.

It can also be grown successfully in a large pot or container, making it a great option for gardeners with limited space.

Regular watering is important while the tree is establishing and during periods of flowering and fruit development. Feed with a quality citrus fertiliser during the active growing season to encourage healthy foliage, flowering and fruit production.

☀️ Care Instructions

Sun: Full sun – ideally 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily.
Water: Water deeply when the soil begins to dry. Avoid keeping the soil constantly waterlogged.
Soil: Use well-drained, fertile soil.
Fertiliser: Feed with a quality citrus fertiliser during the growing season according to the product instructions.
Pot growing: Choose a large pot with excellent drainage and refresh the potting mix as required.
Pruning: Light pruning can be carried out to maintain a compact shape and remove dead, damaged or crossing branches.
Fruit: Allow fruit to mature fully on the tree for the best flavour.

Please note: Fruit production depends on the tree's age, growing conditions, sunlight, nutrition, watering and seasonal conditions.
