Our little navel orange tree is dripping with fruit at the moment and they are deliciously juicy. We have been having fresh squeezed juice every morning..with a touch of lemon and lemonade fresh from the tree as well. Having just one Navel tree and one valencia I am thinking it would be good to plant some more. With the new Lofty Meadows Organic Vegie plot that has gone in it would be great to compliment the vegie supply with a healthy crop of fresh citrus as well.
I will need to do a bit of research of pruning and general tree care. I was just thinking as I was juicing the oranges how happy I was that Lofty Meadows was getting to the point of good food production but how important it is to not take it for granted. With our lifestyle choice of growing organically and even biodynamically I am really aware of how easy it is to neglect the trees sometimes. So I am looking forward to rewarding this beautiful vigourous young orange tree with a healthy treatment of the Biodynamic Tree paste. We'll wait to do that til after we prune but for now I'm off to enjoy a fresh juice.
