Trovita Orange Tree

If you're looking for the perfect orange tree to add to your home garden, try the Trovita Orange Tree (Citrus sinensis 'Trovita')! This tasty Orange has thin skin, so it's very easy to peel. The exquisite flavor is sweet and mild - a real kid favorite! Grownups love it because of its reputation as a reliable producer for home gardeners, and because the fruit harvest stores well for months.

Trovita Orange is a gorgeous glossy broadleaved evergreen tree that won’t get taller than 10 feet tall! Small gardens and lots can readily accommodate this space-saving Edible gardening specimen! Ornamental too, the spring flush of fragrant white blossoms is not something to overlook, because your pollinators certainly won’t!

Trovita is well-known for an extra-long season of harvest. Add this variety to enjoy fresh oranges from February to November! You'll love the flavor of this variety for juicing, fresh eating and snacking. The fruit ripens and blooms in spring, so you'll be able to enjoy the incredible fresh fragrance and the delicious fruit at the same time! The size of this tree can vary greatly depending on where it is grown. Mature size can be 10-20 feet tall, and may spread 8-12 feet unless pruned smaller.

Planting and Application:

These are lovely specimens and accents for front and back-yard gardening! Plus they offer great privacy and screening, as well as succulent fruit and fragrant blossoms! Trovita is easily grown in the ground, or in containers with a bit of pruning to keep their size in check.

Northern gardeners find this tree suits their climates better because this Citrus tree doesn't require the intense period of heat needed by other varieties to develop that excellent flavor. It will need to be brought indoors for the cold months, so find any bright sunny window or greenhouse to keep them happy, before returning them to your porch or patio for the summer months.

• Round Orange Fruit With Incredible Flavor
• Grow Indoors or Out

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Trovita Trees are low-maintenance Citrus Trees. Just give them full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate water! Container and in-ground plants like to dry out a bit between waterings. Provide a slightly acidic soil environment and a regular fertilizer routine using an acid-loving plant fertilizer.  Prune for size and to maintain an open canopy for airflow and sunlight penetration after harvest.

If the temperatures in your area ever dip below that 40°F range or are prone to overnight frosts, then you need to be ready to protect your tree.

Although Citrus can grow year-round in warmer regions (zones 9 and 10), they can also thrive in colder areas (zones 4 to 7) as long as the tree is brought indoors prior to the first frost of winter.

In zone 8, you can cover your tree in the event of a cold snap or unexpected overnight freeze. Citrus will need to be planted in a sheltered spot to avoid the worst of the chill, and not planted in a low area that collects cold air. If a spot like that is unavailable, or you are in a chill-prone climate, then you are safer planting Citrus Trees in a large, deep container with wheels to easily move them to a protected location or indoors when needed.

In cold growing zones, begin slowly acclimating your tree indoors in the fall, or into a protected location, eventually moving your tree inside. Indoor plants need a bright indirect sun window, greenhouse, sunroom, or enclosed patio for the winter. In spring, reverse this process and begin acclimating your tree to again be back out in the full sun all summer. This reduces stress and leaf drop.
