What is life span of orange tree?

Answer 1

Coming from Malaysia which is in the tropic, mango trees grow tall and they last many many years. I don't have horticultural knowledge, but I remember mango trees grown from seed can be 50 metres or taller and have a fruit bearing age of 20 years or longer. In the tropic, the trees bear fruit every year without fertilizer. Our only problem was how to get the fruits which are very high up the trees.

In Eastwood, Sydney (Australia) where I have some grafted mango trees which are about 5 year old, it is difficult to have much fruits, I think mainly because they fall off in the high summer heat. However, I have seen some bigger mango trees (about 10 metres tall) with literally hundreds of big fruits last summer at Ryde and Meadowbank. So, this year, I have started to apply some fertilizer and watering and at the moment it looks like I will eventually have 20 staying fruits in one of the trees. Currently, the fruits are a little bigger than egg sizes.

However, I have no idea what specific fertilizer I should be using and how much or how often and how much watering I should do. I would really appreciate proven knowledge in those aspects.

Answer 2

I believe that it starts as a seed then it will sprout some more. And in a few years it will grow to an adult tree and grow some Oranges. I'm predicting because there is an orange tree in my backyard. I'm in the Gifted/Quest Program!

Mango starts from a drupe (a seed like a peach pit). Then it becomes a seedling and will be a seedling for 5-8 years. Then it will become a mature tree. Some mango trees have lived 300 years.
