Dwart Washington Navel orange - biennial?
Last year my beloved little tree finally bore TWELVE heavenly oranges - taste out of this world!
This year it has only TWO! Gardener thinks it's one year on, one year off.
But does he *know?*
Any experience out there? I tried a Web search, but the only thing I found was that it needs to be pollinated. Thanks a lot!
I guess those two new fruits got pollinated somehow; I didn't notice. Just found ONE new bloom.
So is it annual or biennial? If annual, what am I doing wrong? I'm giving it adequate food, water and She is giving it sunshine.
If biennial, why those 2-1/2 volunteers?
This is So. Calif coastal.
Thanks for any enlightenment.
