Palmetto, Florida 34221Q.Orange Trees
For the past 3 years, since getting and planting my orange tree: I get hundreds of the white "buds" on my orange tree, they turn into white flowers, assume "blossoms", which smell terrific, last for about a month, then everything falls off. No oranges. I am truly bummed. What is happening???? When I bought it, it was "pollinated" and I grew it inside my pool cage and it flourished. I planted it outside last year and still looks great.

Certified ExpertA.It can take a few years after flowering age before it can be old enough to bear a fruit. If you do not fertilize with citrus fertilizer, then you could be just lacking in nutrients.
Here is an article for general citrus care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/citrus/fertilizing-citrus-trees-best-practices-for-citrus-fertilizing.htm

Pasadena, Tx 77502Q.Grafting
My husband bought an orange tree. When it was time for it to bear fruit, it tasted more like a lemon. A friend suggested we graft it. Problem is we don't know how. Is there any classes on how to graft a fruit tree? We live in Pasadena, Are there any classes near us? Thanks! Mrs. Flores

Certified ExpertA.I wouldn't know of any classes in your area, but there is much literature on the subject online. Depending on the type of orange, there are many bitter species, and it could have been one of them. Here are a few links to information on the subject: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/propagation/grafting/

February 19, 2018Q.sour oranges how do I get them sweet
I have a small orange tree in a container about 3yrs old and 4 ft tall. It produes small golf size oranges (25) each year but they are sour. Is there any way to get them to grow sweet oranges? Thank you

February 19, 2018A.This can be pinpointed to a few different things. It can mean the oranges need more time on the tree, or it can mean that the tree is lacking in fertilization. There are a few other likely causes as well. This article will help understand why this is happening and offers solutions to help prevent this:

I have been reading.... https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/oranges/pruning-orange-trees.htm In it, there is a reference to sprouts and also the tree's collar. Do you have photos of these?

Certified ExpertA.I do not believe that we have a photo of this. But the collar is the enlarged portion that develops at the base of each branch. Cut down to this swollen part. It needs to retain the collar to protect against infection. The new sprouts just refers to any new growth.

March 12, 2018Q.Orange Tree
I have an orange tree that has dried up caused by wine being dumped around it the acidity has killed the tree Will it revive ever again? Hoping once winter comes the rain will wash away all the acidity in soil Looking forward to your advice Lora

March 12, 2018A.Generally the most damaging content in wine is the sugars. The sugars encourage bacterial and fungal growth, which in turn can kill the plant.
If this is a potted tree you could try lifting the plant and examining the roots. If they are firm and alive, certainly try removing as much soil as possible and replace.
If this is a tree in the ground and it shows no sign of growth, there is little to do.

My orange tree had lots of blooms which seemed to produce tiny oranges. Now they are all falling off. What is the problem?
- Answered by

March 16, 2018A.It is normal for flowers to drop off that have not been pollinated or have the tree drop some small fruit.
Often a gardener will help the tree thin it's crop.
