Default Thanks.

All good advice - building my info database, so thanks. I bought certified disease-free/treated plants with official labels from certified dealers, 10 gal. size, applied highly recommended Bayer systemic pest control and correct systemic fertilizer (from Amazon). Mixed the right kind of soil (not much work, kinda fun), planted in an area with plenty of sun with appropriate sprinkler irrigation. Each plant took about three hours to buy, plant, fertilize, etc. started one month ago and already have three navel oranges. Trees are still small enough to cover with an old bedspread if it frosts. What the hell, we're in FLORIDA, pm me if you want to talk.
