Harvested 8 Arctic Frost Oranges

My little orange tree at Schick that I bought at the nursery with unripe oranges this spring, finally ripened up and I harvested 8 oranges off of it.  Possibly ripened by thanksgiving. Definitely ripe on Dec 8.  Plan on making some cuttings to ensure the plant lives in case it dies this winter. The other tree, at my house didn’t have oranges this year. Dunno if that is a function of 3″ of soil on a rocky slope, or the youth of the plant. The Schick property has far better soil.

Easy to peel, and sweet.
