I've just planted some blood orange seeds I saved and one little tree is *variegated* , so I am hoping I will eventually have a blood orange tree with variegated leaves. That is ornamental as well as for delicious oranges. 🍋🍊🍋🍊🍊 🍹
you may need one more, a female :) just kidding. Make sure when they bloom, take soft paint brush or make up brush and "paint" the blossom from one flower to another, do this every few weeks for extended period of time.
I have a small tree of blood orange, the year before had like 10 oranges and skin color to a reddish orange saw, inside were but dark blood red, all the orange was that color last year the cut earlier time, because a bird had eaten, I suppose they had not matured well, the shell was as normal orange color inside had a few red lines.
These blood 🍊 are very much in growth in pakistan as well we have a huge market of them....pigments ar achieve in only winter season when there is too much cold in night times
We have been genetically modifying for thousands of years...we can just do it more precisely now. You would be complaining bitterly if you had to eat only plants that were never breed. Many would actually be toxic and unrecognizable. And there certainly would be vastly less to chose from. It is small minds that condemn a whole class of foods with no consideration of the individual varieties therein. Modifications can be for a wide range of reasons. I am skeptical of changes that introduce toxins or make the plant tolerant of toxins with the intention of using those toxins on the fields. And I am against changes which harm nutritional value. However, I embrace the modifications which enhance nutritional value (as the proposed change she was talking about would and golden rice does), and reduce spoilage (but only when nutritional value is not lost). A natural mutation in a melon made SOD (superoxide dismutase) the same stuff that makes us live longer than rodents. That could be put in all kinds of plants as a modification to extend their shelf life with no harm. ua-cam.com/video/DVQJFUXrBNQ/v-deo.html. Lower spoilage is good for the environment as a significant fraction of food is lost to spoilage. Modifications can also make a variety more resistant to physical damage when picking, transporting, and handling. This increases the amount of automation that can be used reducing the cost, reducing the backbreaking work involved, and reducing packaging which is also good for the environment. The reality is that ordinary breeding has dramatically reduced the nutrition of many plants in the last 100 years especially. We can undo this without compromising the traits they selected for by directly changing the specific genes that make vitamins and other nutrients or regulate their production.
I planted my blood orange 8 years ago. Every year it has normal fruit and one year it gave us blood oranges, now I know why, thank you
The longer you leave them on the tree, the bloody they get!
we had a peach that crossed with a plum royal; navy blue inside 70 % peach 20%plum 10% black current yummm

do the seeds require specific conditions for germination such as light, darkness, or cool temperatures?
Wat
Just plant them in a flower pot outside right when the climate begin to warm up.
I have had the blood orange tree for years and it grow fantastic but never produces fruit?

Blood oranges are self pollinating. You don’t need 2 trees. You need to fertilize 3 to 4 times a year with nitrogen.
@@zeeugegmailcom you don’t have to do that. Bees do a wonderful job with that!

Leave it on the tree longer to turn red

I have had this blood orange tree for years but it never grows any fruit? Dose anyone know why? Thanks
Walter Albertsen nope
Walter Albertsen Possibly needs fertilizer? Citrus are heavy feeders.
I fertilize my blood orange trees once a month with avocado/citrus fertilizer. I get huge sweet blood oranges. Blessings 🙏🏾
Fertilize it
Only 3 to 4 times a year for fertilizing
So interesting
yawn
Yay let's genetically modify nature for profit...:-/
