Thank you.

I think number 4 is the main cause. I applied a lot of fertilizer and water while the fruit was developing.

So is the answer to not fertilize during the last stages of fruit development, or to just lightly fertilize during the year?

Any additional guidance in this area is appreciated. Thank you very much for the reply.

if you have had freezing temperatures in your area,
it could be the cause.

i live in houston, tx. i have an orange tree that has huge oranges with thick peel but they are all dry. it has had oranges approx. 2 years but all dry. my lemon trees have beautiful fruit.
can you advise me what can be done to get better oranges.

thanking you

We recently purchased a property which has was at one point was an orange grove and we have lots of orange trees but the fruit is all bad. The peel is thick and lumpy and some of the fruit is dry inside while others are bitter or sour. A neighbor stated that none of that fruit is good because the trees all died out at one point but the root is what grew. She named what that is called but we cannot recall. At any rate we would like to know if it is possible to graft those trees or save them by any other means.

Inspector 62. What has happened to that tree that was producing dry fruit in subsequent yesrs? Thanks

We have had our trees Planted a few years ago our oranges are very dry we water three times a week why are they so dry
