| Botanical Name | Citrus sinensis 'Hamlin' |
| Description | The Hamlin Orange is the most popular early-season sweet orange for the Willis and Houston area. This 3-gallon (3G) specimen is prized for its high productivity and cold hardiness relative to other orange varieties. It produces medium-sized, round fruit with a smooth, thin rind and sweet, low-acid juice that is nearly seedless. The fruit typically ripens from October to December, making it a holiday favorite. Because establishing a healthy tree is vital in Southeast Texas, you must **protect from freeze (especially the graft)** during severe winter events. Its glossy evergreen foliage and fragrant white spring blooms make it a beautiful and functional addition to any sunny landscape. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (8+ hours daily for maximum fruit sugar and yield) |
| Height x Width | 10-15' Height x 8-12' Width |
| Water | Moderate; requires consistent moisture with excellent drainage. Citrus trees are susceptible to root rot in heavy clay, so ensure the planting site or container allows for deep, infrequent watering. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (One of the more cold-tolerant oranges, but still needs protection below 28°F) |
| Fertilization | Apply a specialized citrus fertilizer three times per year: late winter (Feb), late spring (May), and late summer (Aug/Sept). |
| Pruning | Minimal; remove any suckers growing below the graft union and prune for shape only after the danger of spring frost has passed. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
