To harvest your oranges, simply grasp the ripe fruit in your hand and gently twist it until the stem detaches from the tree. If the fruit is too high, use a ladder to climb as far up as you can and shake the branches to loosen the fruit. Hopefully, the fruit will fall to the ground like citrus manna from heaven.
Should I pick all the oranges off my tree?
ANSWER: Wait to harvest the fruit until they’ve developed their full color. Most oranges ripen in December, although some, such as Valencia oranges and blood oranges, ripen later. It’s best to allow the citrus to ripen and get sweet on the tree since they will not sweeten any more once harvested.
How long should you leave oranges on the tree?
Navel oranges can stay on the tree for three to four months after the fruits reach their mature size. During this time, the flavor and the color of the fruit can change.
