Answer 2

"Unlike many other fruits, oranges do not improve in quality while in storage. In addition, the fruit is subject to several kinds of decay and other disorders that may develop. Temperature is probably the most critical factor in being able to store oranges for a long period of time. Oranges should keep 6 to 8 weeks at 38øF, 4 to 6 weeks at 40 to 44øF, and 3 to 4 weeks at 48øF. Unless you have room in a refrigerator you will not be able maintain such low temperatures. However, temperatures in the neighborhood of 60øF will also allow storage for 2 or 3 weeks, and is probably more realistic for most people. Choose a place such as an unheated garage or shed where the temperature can be held at a fairly uniform level, and where the humidity will remain relatively high."

Note that refrigerator temperature is supposed to be 38 to 40 degrees.

If there are bad (moldy, damaged) oranges in contact with good ones they will go bad more quickly. Also, they should not be in a sealed plastic bag -- either loose in the crisper or in a perforated bag on the shelf.

Answer 3

Oranges will stay fresh for about 3 weeks to 1 month. If an orange goes from a grove to a warehouse and stays there for a few days to weeks before making it to the shelf, it will steadily degrade in quality. Never store citrus fruit in plastic bags or film-wrapped trays. When citrus fruit is stored airtight, moisture will form between the peel and the plastic, which will lead to mold growth. Citrus fruit should be stored between 35 and 50 degrees, and grapefruit should be stored between 45 and 48 degrees.

Answer 4

Oranges last about 10 days to 2 weeks but that's about it. And by the way, the so called "green bags" do not work at all. But 10 days is a very long time. So if you are eating your 5 a day fruit/veggie intake, this shouldn't be a problem.
