Dwarf Orange Tree 2012
Several years ago after no oranges, Larry determined he would cut down this tree unless it produced oranges. Lo and behold!  The following season and every season since it has been producing - and this year he counted 50 oranges!  For a dwarf tree this was a bountiful crop!  With temps forecasted to be in the 20's for the next several nights, we  picked all the oranges today and are storing them in crates in the garage where it is cooler. He had the tree covered with a light on it at night for several nights waiting for the oranges to attain their juicest flavor!  So here is the results!  We're checking on orange jelly, orange preserves and of course, we love orange marmalade!
