I planted two orange trees earlier this year. One is a Washington Navel, the other is an Arizona Sweet Navel. Both are flowering but the Washington, shown below, is exceptional. I chose these two particular seedless varieties because they are supposedly best suited for this area. I have them both are on automatic drip watering systems so they should still be thriving when we return next October. With any luck, they will be bearing fruit.
The wire cage is to keep the rabbits away. I've often seen rabbits eating the low-hanging branches and leaves on our neighbours trees. Some will even eat young cactus. As cute as they are, rabbits can also be very destructive.
Those little green spheres, in the centre of the flowers, are apparently new oranges.
