Orange - Washington Navel
Orange - Washington Navel Grow Delicious Seedless Oranges at Home The Washington Navel Orange is seedless and matures early in winter. Being thick and easy to peel, it is the most widely planted variety of orange in the state of California, where growers take their citrus trees seriously! The Washington Navel is popular because of its outstanding flavor for both eating out of hand and for juicing. It produces an abundance of large, seedless fruits, and it has the convenience of being able to store ripe oranges on the tree for up to three months, without diminished quality. The flowers on a Washington Navel bloom and get pollinated in the spring, but then take seven to ten months to mature and ripen. These fragrant waxy white flowers, along with the shiny deep green foliage and large orange fruits make for a beautiful tree for containers, or the landscape, year round. Washington Navel Orange prefers full sun, fertile, but well drained soil, and moderate water.
