New Orange Tree was created by Commando506

Posted 5 years 8 months ago #49377
I just picked up this little guy from Home Depot. I have never gotten anything this young before and I am very new to 名媛直播. I know I need to let him grow more before I do anything major to it. But I was curious if I should start pruning and shaping it (I was thinking Guy Wire) a bit now or if I should hold off and just let him do his thing this season. Also should I leave him in the container he came in or if I should move him to a new pot, such as a 名媛直播 pot or a normal plant pot.

This is a young orange plant. What exactly does this have to do with bonsai?

I want to start training the tree but I do not want to overwork it since it is very young.

..exactly...
But, to answer your questions ( you will probably not like it but anyway): if temps in your part of the world are warm enough for an orange tree place it outside and water it as needed ( if not you will have a really hard time keeping it alive indoors, 99% chance that it will die). Fertilize as needed.Place in larger container as needed. In 10 years or so start doing something.
That something you will learn in the 10 years it takes to let your orange plant grow ( this forum, youtube, go to a bonsai club, ... etc etc..)

That is kinda what I thought but wasn't sure if I should start doing anything now to help it along besides the basic water and fertilizer. I also wasn't sure if I could start shaping it now or if I should give it a few years.

If you want to grow a small orange tree, you can start shaping it in a few years.
If you want to grow a bonsai, you need to select another species.

True.
Unless the tree is a Kumquat.
But in this case they are not really normal sized oranges, but mini olive sized ones.

But they're not oranges - as far as I know?

They are citrus fruits.
