Citrus trees and rainy day

Our two orange trees are doing way better this year. I increased the watering schedule over the summer and it seems to have paid off.

The Arizona Sweet tree is producing its best crop yet. This variety was developed for the Arizona desert climate. It's not advisable to trim a citrus tree while there's fruit on it so I'll wait till late February and do it before it starts to bloom.

The Washington Navel is producing well too. Both trees continually shed leaves but remain green all year round with most new growth over the summer while we are not around.

Both varieties produce oranges with very few seeds.

Washington Navels, large and juicy

Arizona Sweet, smaller but sweeter

It doesn't rain often here but when it does, it pours.
This movie was taken through our patio door.
