I have a navel orange tree in my yard for the last 2 1/2 years....it has only grown slightly but has no signs of bearing any fruit....it is next to a meyer lemon that has more fruit on it than you could imagine. any suggestions as to why this has happened?
Bernice: I have read before that it can take up to 5 years for a planted young tree to bear fruit. (I assume this is what you did) If you planted it from seedling, it can take 7 or 8 years.
I should add, I'm no expert. LOL. This is just what I had read somewhere, in the past.
rod03801: yes I planted from a young tree, but the lemon came on straight away with hundreds of fruit, and the orange has just sat there.................thanks anyway.
