I'm sure there must be some kind of ag-center around here that deals with citrus.

Yeah, I am positive grandpa hasn't been out there pruning it.

I need to go study up on it for sure.I think the tree gets plenty of sun but certainly no regular watering other than what falls from the sky (which is quite a bit most years but not always)

this grandpa was the business grandpa. He worked for the state and retired from the Air Force before that. I don't think he or grandma were much into gardening. I expect they got the tree because they thought it was proper for a Florida home to have an orange tree lol. My other grandpa was a carny and a fishing guide and dedicated to his citrus grove but he died when I was only 7 so I didn't get a chance to soak up much of his knowledge. I just remember he thought it was funny as hell to scare the shit out of my mom by letting me drive his big-ass riding mower past the house. I was a lawn-mowing demon at 6 and 7.
