I get many blossoms and lots of tiny oranges. However before they set most fall off. The last two years I've had 1 orange mature and both years it was as sour as a lemon. This year 2 oranges matured. I picked the first one last week and it was very sweet. Today I picked the second one and it is very sour.
How can that be? A sour and a sweet from the same tree? My neighbors all have wonderful orange crops with very little care except watering. I have fertilizeted but on a somewhat erratic basis and it gets regular water. I am in the central valley of California. Any ideas?
