My orange tree has beautiful,very large naval oranges on it every year, but they are all real dry and woody inside. I fertilized them very well by digging a hole under the drip line when I moved into the house in 1998 and the next year they were dry and woody. Someone told me it was because I put too much fertilizer on them, but I haven't fertilized them since then, so why are they that way now? The lawn sprinklers go off three times a week for 15 minutes a time.
