Developed by the University of Florida, Ambersweet is a certified winner for both juice and fresh eating. The fruit is medium-sized, seedless to nearly seedless, and easy to peel—making it a favorite among Florida citrus lovers. This 7-gallon tree is a great choice for home gardens, citrus hedges, or large container displays, offering a strong head start with a healthy canopy and established root system.

Expect fragrant white blossoms in spring and harvestable fruit by late fall to winter. As a sweet orange hybrid, Ambersweet combines the cold tolerance of a tangelo with the sweetness and juiciness of classic Florida oranges—an excellent performer in South Florida landscapes.

Care Tips for South Florida:

• Sun: Loves full sun. Plant in a bright, open location with 6–8+ hours of direct sunlight for maximum sweetness and productivity.

• Watering: Water deeply 1–2 times weekly, depending on rainfall and drainage. Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy.

• Soil: Prioritize good drainage. Use amended sandy soil with compost or a citrus-specific potting mix for container growing.

• Fertilization: Apply citrus fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during active growth, and supplement with trace minerals to prevent yellowing or fruit drop.

• Pruning: Little pruning required. Thin out interior branches for airflow and remove any weak or crossing limbs after harvest.

• Container Note: Can thrive in a large container with a well-draining base. Place in a sunny, protected location like a patio or garden border.
