Originating in Brazil many years ago, the Washington Navel is the most widely planted variety in the state of California. Why is this cultivar chosen so often? Because of the outstanding flavor for both out of hand eating and for juicing, the abundance of large, seedless fruits produced each season, and the convenience of being able to store ripe oranges on the tree for up to three months without losing quality. Fragrant waxy white flowers, shiny deep green foliage and classic orange fruits make for a beautiful tree year round.

Cultivar note: |
Citrus trees frequently fuss when moved, whether that's from outside the house to inside, or across the country as when they are shipped to you. Significant leaf drop sometimes occurs, but don't be concerned. Fresh green leaves resprout quickly and the trees recover fully. |
