Apple blossoms are fragrant. The majority of apple tree (Malus) blossoms begin as pink buds and bloom as white flowers. A handful of cultivars, however, have flowers that retain some or all of their pink hues past the bud stage.All apple trees perform best when they receive full sun exposure and have well-drained soil with a pH level of 5 to 7.ala. The apple tree cultivar Gala is from New Zealand and produces light-pink flowers that turn into orange and red fruits. A cross between Kidd's Orange Red and Golden Delicious, Gala has rich and flavorful apples that are candidates for juicing.
NAVELINA ORANGE (Citrus sinensis âNavelinaâ). Fruit ripens end of April into May, making it a fantastic early season navel orange, which is sweet, seedless and juicy. Fruit can be slightly oblong in shape and has a dark orange skin. The tree is compact and bushy.For those gardeners with space, planting a Navelina, Washington and Lanes Late will find themselves harvesting Navels for up to six months of the year.ANES LATE NAVEL ORANGE (Citrus sinensis âLanes Late Navelâ). Almost identical to the Washington Navel in all aspects apart from the fruit ripening a couple of months later, late Winter into early Spring. This makes it an ideal tree to plant alongside a Washington to extend the harvesting time of Navel oranges.
