Westin Orange Tree Information
About The Westin Orange Tree
The Westin is a sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) with Brazilian roots and a Florida home, prized for fruit that delivers exceptional juice. Its globe-shaped oranges run rich and sugary with a balanced, low-bitterness flavor, and the flesh is loaded with bright, deep-orange juice — this is a variety chosen first and foremost for what comes out of the squeezer. As a mid-to-late-season orange, it ripens after the early types fade, extending homegrown citrus deeper into the season just when grocery fruit starts to disappoint. Eaten out of hand it's clean and sweet; pressed into juice it's the reason people plant a Westin in the first place.
Why You'll Love It:
- Descended from Brazilian juicing stock, the Westin packs an unusually high volume of sweet, deeply colored juice into every fruit.
- The flavor leans rich and sugary with gentle acidity, so the juice tastes balanced and smooth rather than sharp.
- Fruit matures after the early oranges are gone, stretching your harvest window and giving you fresh citrus when most stores can't.
- A healthy Westin sets a generous crop, rewarding the space it occupies with enough fruit for fresh juice all season.
- Glossy foliage and fragrant white spring blossoms make it a handsome landscape or patio tree even between harvests.

Watering Requirements
Water newly planted trees weekly, providing 1-2 inches of water. Once established, reduce watering frequency but ensure deep watering when you do water, especially during fruit development and dry periods.
Sunlight Requirements
Thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce abundant fruit. Tolerates some light shade, but excessive shading can lead to weak growth, fewer blossoms, and reduced fruit yield.
Humidity Requirements
Thrives best when humidity levels are around 50–60%, though they are resilient enough to handle levels as low as 40% without much fuss. The easiest way to keep your tree comfortable indoors is with a humidifier, which creates a consistent 'microclimate' of moist air that helps your plant thrive year-round.
Pet-Friendly Plant?
No, use caution when placing this plant in homes with pets.
Is the Westin Orange Tree self-pollinating?
Yes, Westin Orange trees are self-fertile (self-pollinating), meaning you only need one tree to produce fruit. If growing your tree indoors, you can increase your fruit yield by gently shaking the branches or using a small paintbrush to manually transfer pollen from bloom to bloom!
When does the Westin Orange Tree produce fruit?
The Westin Orange ripens from January through April, harvesting after early orange varieties finish allows it to extend your fresh homegrown citrus yield deep into late winter. This reliable timing ensures a continuous supply of fresh fruit when other trees have finished producing!
