by JeffMont       more images... Remarks: I have the variety 'Washington Navel' (a navel orange). The foliage, flowers, and fruit are extremely attractive, but I've had a lot of problems with whiteflies which damage the foliage and hinder the growth of the plant. Being in zone 8a, I grow it in a container and move it to shelter in winter during cold weather spells.     by surtic_al    more remarks...
