• Valencia oranges originated in Spain and are considered one of the world's finest juice oranges, prized for their sweet flavour and high juice content.
• This seedless variety eliminates the hassle of removing seeds while maintaining all the delicious taste and nutritional benefits of traditional Valencia oranges.
• The tree produces beautiful, fragrant white blossoms in spring that attract beneficial pollinators to your garden.
• Valencia oranges have an extended harvest period, often producing fruit that can be picked fresh from late spring through early autumn.

• Water deeply once or twice weekly, checking soil moisture 5cm down - increase frequency during hot weather and fruit development.
• Position in full sun with protection from strong winds, ensuring at least 6 hours direct sunlight daily.
• Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic soil enriched with compost - avoid heavy clay or waterlogged conditions.
• Apply citrus fertiliser every 6-8 weeks from spring to autumn, reducing to quarterly feeding in winter months.
