Suggestions for Using Oranges in Home Plantings 
Oranges make an effective screen or barrier at the back of the lot or along a noisy street. 
Plant so the fruit may be easily picked—say 15 to 20 feet apart, or closer with the reserva- 
tion that alternate trees will be removed when crowded. Fruit forms on the ends of the 
branches, so they will not stand shearing and still bear. 
Protect newly planted trees with special tree protectors to keep hot scorching sun away 
from the bark. Older trees naturally protect themselves in deep shade by the low set 
branches. Never prune citrus except to keep the shape. Prepare planting holes well and 
feed regularly with a standard citrus fertilizer.
