If the oranges themselves are dried out inside, your tree isn't getting enough water while the fruits are developing. Not enough water will cause the cells inside the oranges to develop but not become plump and produce a juicy fruit. Make sure you water deeply during the summer months while the fruit is forming and maturing. Citrus trees also benefit from feeding during the growing season. Use a specially formulated Citrus Fertilizer and apply in amounts and with the frequency recommended on the fertilizer label. Hope you have a better harvest next year! |
