Why Choose a Harwood Late Orange Tree?

The Harwood Late orange tree is celebrated for its ability to ripen fruit after main crop oranges, typically from late winter into spring. This means you can enjoy home-grown oranges for longer, making the Harwood Late an excellent companion for earlier varieties like Orange 'Washington Navel' and Orange 'Navelina'. The medium to large fruit boasts firm, sweet flesh with low seed counts, perfect for juicing, snacking, or breakfast bowls. Its consistent performance and disease resistance ensure healthy, productive trees with minimal fuss.

Growing Harwood Late Orange Trees in New Zealand

The Harwood Late orange tree thrives in New Zealand’s temperate to subtropical gardens. Plant in a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil for best results. Like most citrus, regular watering during dry spells and a light annual feed with citrus fertiliser will promote vigorous growth and high yields. Prune lightly after fruiting to maintain shape and encourage airflow. For those looking to plant multiple varieties, consider pairing your Harwood Late orange with Orange 'Valencia' for succession cropping or complementing your citrus selection with sweet Mandarin 'Encore' and zesty Lemon 'Meyer'.

Fruit, Flavour, and Harvest

The Harwood Late is renowned for its medium to large, round fruit with a deep orange hue and easy-to-peel skin. The fruit hangs on the tree well beyond typical harvest times, allowing you to pick only as needed. Expect a flavour profile that’s balanced, juicy, and sweet, making it a family favourite for direct eating or juicing. If you love sampling a range of oranges and navels, try growing alongside Orange 'Powell Navel' or the unique Orange 'Parent Navel' in your backyard grove.

Expand Your Citrus Grove

Citrus enthusiasts will appreciate the extended season provided by the Harwood Late orange tree. With proper care, you can look forward to many years of reliable, flavourful harvests. For gardeners eager to diversify with other easy-care citrus, consider the ever-popular Lemon 'Villa Franca' or delightfully sweet Mandarin 'Miho' and Mandarin 'Miyagawa'.

Plant the Harwood Late orange tree for robust growth, a long picking season, and a continuous supply of fresh, home-grown fruit that shines during New Zealand’s chillier months.
