However, if youâre at all like me, sometimes ya just get the urge to bake something without a plan in place. I often find myself in this situation and it can be a real bummer if the recipe youâre using calls for room temperature items such as butter, eggs, and cream cheese.
If you have bought a sapling from the nursery, then you can wait for at least a year for the orange tree to grow to about four feet. This is an ideal height for the tree to start producing fruits. However, for oranges to come on a regular basis on the tree, it takes at least four years from its birth. Oranges start as a flower and they take about eight weeks to mature into a ripe fruit. However, people who grow oranges put in a lot of effort throughout the year to make the oranges juicy and pulpy. For an average person, who is just growing the plant, the product might not be so great.
Temperature is probably the most critical factor in being able to store oranges for a long period of time. Oranges should keep 6 to 8 weeks at 38OEF, 38Ã¸f 4 to 6 weeks at 40 TO, 44oef 44Ã¸f and 3 to 4 WEEKS. at 48oef 48Ã¸f
