Oranges, tangerines, and clementines are not toxic to dogs. However, they are high in sugars and can potentially cause GI upset if your pet eats too many of them.

How do you grow bigger oranges?

Therefore, if you want the fruit tree to grow larger, the best option is to use a fertilizer heavy in nitrogen, perhaps with an N-P-K ratio of 2-1-1 or 3-1-1. If the fertilizer is slightly acidic, that would also be beneficial as citrus trees, including oranges, generally prefer to have a slightly acidic soil.

Can oranges be poisonous?

Orange peels are not poisonous, and as many cooks know, orange zest can pack a big flavor punch. They can also be difficult to digest, and unless you're eating a peel from an organic orange, it could be covered in chemicals. If you do eat the peel, you'll get a good amount of nutrients.

Sour "ornamental" oranges aren't good to eat, but they are great for grafting other citrus varieties onto. We also have a large orange tree with edible oranges and a large tangerine tree as well. The sour oranges can be used to make marmalade or orange peel candies though.

Citrus fruit do not sweeten once they are picked from the tree. While the color may change once the fruit is picked -- turning more orange -- the sweetness will not increase once they are picked. Once the fruit turn completely orange, they are generally as sweet as they will get.

It's not just one factor that can turn sweet oranges sour. Various factors include the location of the trees (climate, soil, etc.); irrigation; the fertilizers you're using; the timing of your harvest – how early or late you harvest the oranges – and your care of the trees.
