I had two Red Valencia orange trees. They produced in February. I got about 125 -150 oranges per tree. I bought an electric juicer to juice the oranges. I put them out on the curb. I gave to the neighbors. Too many oranges at one time.

This past year's freeze killed both of them and ruined the oranges so now I have two crape myrtles in their spot.

If you get two trees, you might want to find two that produce at different times of the year.

The neighbor across the street has a grapefruit tree. He gets so many grapefruits he usually gives some of them away.
