Yellow Malta (Malta Orange)

A highly prized citrus variety (Citrus sinensis) that thrives in warm climates, producing round fruits with a smooth, golden-yellow skin. The pulp is remarkably sweet, packed with refreshing juice, and rich in Vitamin C. These grafted, sun-loving trees are highly productive, adapt perfectly to home gardens or large pots, and begin bearing fruit in 1–2 years.

Description

Yellow Malta (Malta Orange) grows best in 6–8 hours of direct sunlight and thrives in warm, subtropical climates. Water deeply 2–3 times per week, allowing the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings while avoiding waterlogging around the roots.

Recommended Planting Method for Best Results
For healthy growth and strong establishment, prepare a 2–3 ft deep pit. If available, place a layer of green leaves at the bottom. Mix 1.5 kg bone meal, 1 kg oil cake, 20 kg raw cow or goat dung, and 100 g urea with an equal quantity of soil, then fill the pit and cover it with soil.
Leave the pit for about one month, watering it daily so the mixture decomposes well. After one month, mix the contents again and add 100 g calcium or dolomite. Wait one more week, then plant the sapling.
If you need to plant immediately and cannot wait for the one-month decomposition period, do not add oil cake or calcium/dolomite; use only the soil, manure, bone meal, and urea mixture for planting.
