Zone 9a, which months to fertilize?
Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2023 10:56 am
Hello,
Newbie here. I planted a red naval orange tree this past mid April. Other than dealing with Orange Dog catapillers my tree looks very healthy and is putting on growth with many marble sized oranges. I'm located in zone 9a and have two questions.
1. Which months should I fertilize?
2. Should the first season oranges be removed prior to maturing? I've watched a few videos that recommend this in order for the trees root system to become well developed prior to the first harvest.
Thank you.
