Due to its sweet fruit, orange trees are commonly planted in tropical and subtropical areas. Orange tree fruit can be consumed fresh or processed to get the juice or fragrant peel.

It may take up to five years for citrus trees cultivated as decorative container plants to bear fruit. The dwarf types of decorative orange trees that are grown in containers typically reach heights of 4 to 10 feet. Even if a tree is a common type, having little root area has the effect of slowing its growth.

The fruit from the tree will ripen in the winter with proper care and maintenance to maintain the tree pest-free. To keep them in a beautiful shape, they require trimming every year.
