"So we know it's not to do with the Vitamin C in oranges. We can speculate it's likely to be the flavonoids or it's something else in oranges." says lead researcher Bamini Gopinath.

Early stages but moral of this story could be it's not the tablets, it's not the powders it's eating the entire fruit.

Of course at Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery we give you an extra tick if you grow your own oranges. 👍👍👍👍

Transcript from Orange Tree Video

This is one of my absolute favourite

citrus this is a Navelina orange and I

adore this citrus because it's a great

sized tree so you can see behind me it's

only a small compact tree and with the

Navelina it's actually the scion that

keeps it small so although it's grafted

onto trifoliata which is your regular

citrus rootstock it only grows a couple

of metres tall so it's a dwarf tree and

it's wide and broad it crops beautifully

and it has these absolutely deliciously

sweet juicy seedless oranges and I just

love it so it's one of my favorite

oranges in my orchard I've actually planted

more trees cause this one is so

productive so it's a early navel it

comes off in about May and like all

citrus it's a heavy feeder so it likes

regular nutrition some trace elements

every now and then lots of water when

it's fruiting and regular water

throughout the year and apart from that

its really easy to grow so you've got

no excuse not to have beautiful oranges

in your garden so get out there plant a

lovely navel orange and in May you'll be 

picking these beautiful home grown fruit

Tree Ripened Fruit Is Superb

We recently asked each of our Staff about their favourite fruit trees and Greg gave what I thought was a very interesting answer by saying:

"a tree ripened Navelina Orange picked in June. The juicy and sweet flesh is superb."

Just recently a TV show exposed that fruit found in Australian supermarkets at certain times of the year would sit in a warehouses for 8 months before being sold.

You can watch the video here but the gist of it is that the chemical called ethylene can be measured to find the real age of fruit. The show concentrated on how the nutrition of fruit reduced with age but I think they missed what I think to be the most important point and probably what you know because you are reading a blog about fruit trees.

The point is this: There is a something becoming about picking and eating a piece of fruit that you have grown yourself.
