Valencia Orange Tree

If you've ever poured a glass of orange juice, you've tasted a Valencia. This is the late-season standard that the juice industry was built around, and growing your own means picking it sun-warmed off the branch instead of off a shelf. The fruit is deeply sweet with a bright, balanced tang, almost seedless, and packed with juice! One quirk gives the Valencia character: as warm weather returns, ripe fruit can flush faintly green again (a harmless effect called regreening) that acts as a natural sunscreen without effecting the sweetness inside. Why You'll Love It: Fruit ripens spring into summer and holds firmly on the tree for months, so a single tree stretches your citrus season for months! Valencias run nearly seedless, making them as pleasant to peel and segment as they are to squeeze. A mature Valencia often carries ripening fruit and next season's blossoms at the same time. Glossy foliage and clouds of white, honey-scented blossoms make it a centerpiece long before the first orange colors up. Your plant may arrive in a grower Citra-pot.
