On the Shipmate site and on the 's-Gravendeel
municipal website the oranges have stalks. These are not in the flagdescription.

's-Gravendeel was founded in 1593. Until 1592 the sea had free access
to the muddy flats of Bonaventura, the polder of the site of 's-Gravendeel.
The territory of Bonaventura was divided, one part belonged to the Count
of Holland, hence the name "des Graven Deel" - the part of the Count.
The three Orange trees in the Coat of Arms od 's-Gravendeel still remind of the
connection with the Counts of Holland. (The Counts of Orange were the last
Counts of Holland).
