We had a tree like this when we were in Gainesville. It was a Hamlin orange and it produced incredible amounts of oranges - way up in Gainesville! We never propped them up or pulled any prior to them being ripe. We had navels and satsumas though that would weigh down the branches. We again, never did anything special and never had a limb break - they would sometimes be sitting on the ground though if they were lower branches.
We just moved down to the area and are hoping to have even greater success with fruit trees. Thrilled to hear your tree is doing so well!
While in Gainesville, we would order budwood from the state and graft on different varieties to make a "cocktail citrus" tree. It was always a lot of fun to see what would grow each year.

I joined the forum when the same thing happened to me although it was a mango and an avocado. Does anyone know how the product works. It must be doing something inside the tree.

hmm, my orange tree has a bunch of slowly growing small fruit but my star fruit tree (carambola) is dripping with fruit! maybe my orange could use Atomic Grow? I'll check it out. I think the grapefruit tree is at the end of it's days but i don't know how to go about replacing it and I have a big avocado tree that hasn't produced anything yet. I really need to learn up on all this!

Maybe some sort of growth hormone like the sports players used!

I guess its o.k. to use if they say its organic. The website says to use fertilizer with it so its not a fertilizer. They talk about sugars. Maybe my trees needed sugar? I dont think its the same as table sugar though.

It's supposed to be a growth enhancer. It keeps the leaves clean and bug free and allows the roots to grow big. It is NOT a fertilizer so you do need to fertilize which I do religiously. You have to around here...soil is just black sand! Things grow really well here but you have to feed them. All citrus are winter producers.

Oranges are small and green this time of year. They are growing and should be ready to eat around November/Dec

The season right now is for some avocado, lychee, mango, peaches, I guess star fruit, blueberries....otherwise it gets too hot for most things.

This is an exerpt from their website...hope this helps...I can't answer better than this:

"Atomic Grow is comprised of complexed sugars and horticultural oils that work hard to coat and soften leaf tissue. Leaves are the building blocks for a healthy plant and root system with higher brix levels and stress resistance. Atomic Grow angstrom sugars and fatty acids enhance transpiration and the plants ability to move moisture and nutrients. Many gardeners mix Atomic Grow with their favorite foliar fertilizers for enhanced carrying ability and transporting them quickly into the plant cells. Other gardeners use granular fertilizer and spray Atomic Grow by itself on the leaves for enhanced uptake and photosynthesis.

Home gardeners can feel safe and secure with our all-natural spray product. We have repackaged our agricultural concentrate to provide a much needed service to home gardeners across the nation. Fertilizer and good gardening practices are not always enough to make your home garden produce like the farming community. Now you can have the power of a true agricultural product that is safe and easy to use. Grow more vegetables and fruit naturally with our garden veggie booster Atomic Grow. Just 1 spray per week will raise brix levels and grow seriously large root systems. Result is sweeter produce and more of it. Clean healthy plants will allow your garden higher levels of production."
