Hamlin Sweet Orange Tree

The Hamlin Sweet Orange Tree is the premiere Florida variety, grown for its delicious sweet fruit, which is low-acid and virtually seedless. The fruit is medium-sized, with excellent color and a thin skin. It ripens early, in December and it’s great for juicing, eating fresh, adding to salads and turning into orange cakes and baked goods. The beautiful white blooms in spring have the classic ‘orange-blossom’ fragrance loved for bouquets and weddings. This tree can be grown outdoors in hot areas, and in a pot everywhere else, keeping it outdoors from spring to fall.

• Sweet, juicy and almost free of seeds
• Early maturing, ready in December
• Most cold-hardy orange variety
• Easily grown in a pot for colder areas
• Beautiful evergreen foliage

Full sun is best for the Hamlin Sweet Orange Tree, and it grows in just about any well-drained soil. For pots use soil blended for citrus trees, or mix one-quarter houseplant soil with three-quarters cactus soil. Make sure your pot has drainage holes and don’t leave your tree standing in a saucer of water. See our blog for more details on growing oranges in pots.
