Orange is the Summer fruit of the Orange Tree and the favourite fruit of Gus. A mature tree grows a fresh Orange every day of Summer, with no replanting. Gus loves the fruit, and his birthday falls in Summer while the tree is in full crop. Everyone else in the valley likes it, so the Orange doubles as a cheap gift for the whole town. It can fill a slot in the Artisan Bundle in the Pantry, and a Keg turns it into Orange Wine worth three times the fruit.

The in-game description reads: Juicy, tangy, and bursting with sweet summer aroma.

Growing

Oranges grow on the Orange Tree. Pierre's General Store sells Orange Saplings, and the Traveling Cart sometimes stocks them at a varying price. The sapling needs a clear square of ground around it and four weeks to mature. Planting it by the first day of Spring means it fruits from the first day of Summer.

A mature tree grows one Orange each day of Summer. The fruit can wait on the branches for up to three days. Fruit still on the tree when Fall begins is lost.

The tree gets better with every year. Its first year gives normal Oranges. Each later year adds one level of quality, up to iridium. Higher quality means a higher price for raw fruit.

In the Greenhouse or on Ginger Island, an Orange Tree fruits every day of the year.

A thunderstorm can set a tree back. If lightning strikes it, the tree grows coal instead of fruit for a few days.

Choosing the fruit bats for the farm cave also brings the odd Orange overnight, in any season. Once a few Orange Trees are growing, the bats add little that the orchard does not already supply.

Prices

A raw Orange sells for the same price as an Apple. Among the Summer fruit trees, it earns less than the Peach but costs less to buy.

Putting an Orange in a Keg makes Orange Wine after about a week. The wine is worth three times the fruit. Ageing it in a Cask raises the value further, up to double at iridium quality.

Putting an Orange in a Preserves Jar makes Orange Jelly in two to three days. The jelly sells for a little less than the wine, but the jar finishes more than twice as fast. Jars suit a farm with more fruit than machines. Kegs suit a farm with machines to spare.

Taking the Artisan profession raises the price of Orange wine and jelly by forty percent.

The Dehydrator turns five Oranges into one pack of Dried Fruit by the next day. The pack is worth more than the five raw Oranges, but far less than five bottles of wine.

The quality of the Orange has no effect on wine or jelly. When Kegs are short, process the normal Oranges and sell the high-quality ones raw.

Uses

Any six items from a list of fruit and artisan goods complete the Artisan Bundle in the Pantry. An Orange is one of the options, and the bundle rewards a Keg.

At the dye pots in Emily and Haley's house, an Orange counts as an orange dye.

Gifts

Gus loves Oranges.

Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Haley, Harvey, Jas, Jodi, Kent, Krobus, Leah, Leo, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent, Willy and the Wizard like them.

Gus's birthday is on the eighth of Summer. An Orange from the tree on that day gives him a much bigger friendship boost than a normal gift. The tree keeps supplying loved gifts for him every week of Summer.

For the rest of the town, an Orange is one of the easiest Summer gifts. Abigail, Haley, Jas and Vincent dislike tropical fruit such as the Mango, but an Orange pleases them all.

These villagers love receiving Orange as a gift.

Notes

Plant the Orange Tree by the first day of Spring to have fruit from the start of Summer. That gives a loved gift for Gus's birthday and a full season of fruit for Kegs and Jars.

Orange and Peach are the Summer trees sold in Pierre's General Store. The Peach earns more per fruit, while the Orange has Gus on its side.
