Anyone have any advice on how to get more sun for my orange tree? It’s very shaded in our backyard and was looking into artificial lights for outdoor gardening.

I’m sorry I don’t have any experience with outdoor “grow lights”. You may have already considered and ruled out, but I was thinking you could thin out the branches of the tree above? Best of luck!

Lights don’t work outside. Light leak will cause the orange tree to grow very odd and spindly and probably have many issues.

Unless you install a literal greenhouse over it.
