brbbritt Charlotte, NC June 09, 2008 12:27 PM	I planted an orange seed and now it is taller than me. Will it bear fruit? How long does it take? Thank you! View Larger
scicciarella Mona in Metcalfe, ON (Zone 5a) June 10, 2008 10:19 AM	yes it will but like most fruit trees grown from seed it ill take 3 to 5 years and you may want to trim it back in the late fall to keep it at a good size
brbbritt Charlotte, NC November 04, 2009 07:48 AM	I live in NC- can I leave my orange tree outside or would it be best to bring it in for the winter. Also, how do I prune it? Thanks!

If you were right by the coast it might be warm enough that you could keep it outside and just throw a blanket over it on occasional cold nights, but where you are your best bet will be to bring it in. Here are some links that have info on pruning: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/orange.html http://www.ehow.com/how_4510887_prune-orange-trees.html http://fourwindsgrowers.com/solver/pruning.html http://fourwindsgrowers.com/growing/inground.html#pruning
