I recently received this Reeds Dwarf Orange Citrus Tree from an 84 year old neighbor.
The tree is at least 15 years old and it has never bloomed .
The reason its never bloomed is my friend just wheeled it in his shed in the fall to overwinter never giving it a chance to bloom naturally....... go figure it is still alive. I know you folks who grow citrus like to see a flower ,however I cannot provide you one for a good id.
The tree was purchased at an exit near Tampa,Florida U.S.A.
I have the original orange and green box instructions .
My question is what variety of orange might this be????
Also how can I force this to bloom for my friend.
The tree is in great health
