THE NAVEL ORANGE TREE STILL HAS ORANGES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PICKED WHAT IS THE CORRELATION BETWEEN LEAVING THEM ON ALLOWING THE TREE TO BLOSSOM OUT – VERSUS REMOVING ALL OF THE EXISTING ORANGES TO ALLOW THE TREE TO SUPPORT ONLY THE BLOSSOMS ? NO IMAGE NECESSARY – THE TREE HAS FULLY DEVELOPED ORANGES AND THE BUDS OR STARTING TO SHOW – WHICH IS BETTER REMOVE THE ORANGES OR LEAVE THEM ON AND MAKE THE TREE SUPPORT BOTH THE NEW BLOSSOMS AND THE RIPE ORANGES

Harvest the fruit as it ripens. It is common to have mature fruit and blossoms at the same time.
