Saved for ritual tasting by visiting family. One reported "acidic". Why?!
I water & feed them regularly; they get plenty of sun; good soil. My heart is broken. Any thoughts?

Checking in late because of an influx of house guests since early January - -FIVE in quick succession! Now in recovery; gradually starting to put life back together and follow up on group.
VERY grateful for scholarly research on this topic! Will study and integrate info, links, etc. for the next crop, due in about a year. This is a dwarf Washington that is dear to my heart, so your wisdom is appreciated.
Will be more consistent in watering and fertilizing.
Note that I DID let oranges get quite, quite ripe (in fact I lost a few through cracks in the skin).
Thanks again to all!
