{"product_id":"washington-navel-orange-tree","title":"Washington Navel Orange Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Washington Navel Orange Tree is a medium to large orange variety. The skin of the Washington Navel is orange to deep orange in colour, smooth but pebbled that cling to the pulp. The flesh is seedless, firm and easy to separate into its segments. Washington Navel is the most popular eating orange in the world, due to its sweet flavour, no seeds and ease of peeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trademark \"navel\" at its budding end is due to a genetic mutation where a secondary orange grows within the larger fruit. Washington Navel oranges last well on the tree, extending the eating season by 2-3 months. The tree grows best in a North facing, sunny sheltered position.  Ensure you fertilise regularly with citrus fertilizer. Worm, compost or seaweed tea are beneficial for growth and fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashington Navel, Bahia Navel Orange, \u003ci\u003eCitrus sinensis\u003c\/i\u003e 'Washington Navel'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBahia, Brazil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature Size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4m unpruned, we keep ours to between 1 and 1.5m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoliage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark green leaves with deep orange fruit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFertile free draining soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in a warm sunny place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlavour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet and juicy, with a definite citrus taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruiting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJune - September depending on location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruit Uses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashington Navel Oranges are delicious eaten fresh, juiced, or used in a variety of recipes.
