We have had this orange tree in the ground for six years. It has grown to over 10 feet tall, but has never born any fruit (unlike our lime tree, which produces enough to make margaritas for the entire neighborhood). Well, finally, our tree is growing her first orange. It's still quite small, but we're hoping that this isn't some fluke and we'll be drinking fresh-sqeezed juice from home-grown oranges by late spring.

i love this val. anything growing reminds me how beautiful the earth is. you're lucky to have this in your yard!
Val, I love fruit trees. I hope you have lots of sweet oranges. Nothing like fresh-squeezed orange juice!
That picture is a little deceiving. (Yes I did have to use spell check to spell that word correctly). The orange is only the size of a golf ball, but it is a pretty picture.
lime on glasses and glasses of margarita and orange juice for the day after - priceless!
when do we drink? i mean when do we know it's not a fluke?
