I bought this tree last year. This spring it bloomed for the first time, the blooms smelled heavenly and it's perfume filled my whole house. We're still waiting to taste the fruit.

I recieved my tree about a week ago. So far so good, new growth has started already. Hopefully next year I'll get some fruit of it. Good tree for the price.

Jury is still out

I bought this plant three years ago. I over fertilized it and nearly all of the leaves fell off the first year. It hung on. I wasn't able to put it outside in the summer full time until last year. In one summer it trippled in size. At this point, I have not gotten any fruit. I read reviews where other people were never able to get their trees to bear fruit. I also read that this tree needs acidic soil to thrive. I transferred the plant to a peat/potting soil mix and fertilized with an acid loving mixture. Buyers should keep that in mind. Hopefully this will work. I can already tell the plant is looking healthier. It's still too soon to move outside in Michigan.

Great Plant

I bought this plant along with the lemon and lime plant last year. I recieved the plants in May by fall they had fruit. My tress has been growing rapidly over the few months that I brought it inside. I am looking forward to seeing how many oranges I get this year. I did not get any oranges last year. They started growing but fell off soon after. The blossoms smell amazing!!!

Best buy
Reviewed By:

I got three dwarf oranges - each from different suppliers - with *maybe* four leaves each. I must have killed them by over-watering so I bought three more from Spring Hill in a final attempt to grow some oranges. At the same price as the first three, these trees were substantially larger and began putting out new growth within two weeks of arrival. They also arrived in a clever and very protective shipping carton. This is by far the best buy I have seen as far as dwarf navel orange trees go. I did not get the kit, so I don't know what the soil for their kit is like. However, based on my experiences with over-watering, I would recommend a mix of 5 parts pine bark, 2 parts turface, 2 parts crushed granite, and maybe 1 part peat. I had terrible luck with store bought "citrus" mixes, but the above soil mix has worked great so far. I have yet to see if this mix will support strong fruiting though.
