Delta Seedless Orange. This orange is a selection of Valencia Orange, discovered in South Africa in 1952. Usually completely seedless with earlier maturing fruit this tree also has more upright growth than Valencia.

Fukumoto Navel Orange. A Japanese Navel producing fruit very similar in flavour to Washington but rounder and it can have a beautiful red tinge to the peel, not dissimilar to Minneola.

Washington Navel Orange. Called navel because of the small secondary fruit embedded in the apex of the fruit. Washington is an early maturing variety and it’s fruit holds well on the tree. Medium vigour, arguably the best flavoured of oranges.

Lane Late Navel Orange. An extremely late-maturing navel orange. Discovered in Australia in 1950, fruit can be held on the tree for an extraordinary seven months fully ripe.

Navelate Navel Orange. A late maturing orange with that rich navel flavour. Good grower in our climate. The fruit lasts well on the tree.

Newhall Navel Orange. A sport of Washington Navel that was discovered in California. This Oranges fruit are usually ready earlier than Washington and is very popular in Spain where it is almost indistinguishable to Navelina.

Salustiana Orange. Now the second most popular variety in Spain. This orange is vigorous and productive. The fruit hangs well on the tree and has a deliciously rich, sweet flavour.

Valencia Late Orange. The worlds most important orange. Not, as one would think originating in Spain. The Valencia almost certainly originated in Portugal and is much travelled, including a trip to England in the 1860s, from where it was then sent to America. After many name changes it was eventually named Valencia Late as a Spanish Citrus expert in America said it was very similar to an orange in Valencia. They are vigorous trees and crop well with a good all round fruit.

Variegated Orange. An orange with Striking variegated foliage, producing an unusual stripy orange and green fruit, which will, if left long enough, will eventually turn completely orange.

Moro Blood Orange. A popular variety in Italy, the colour of this orange can vary enormously according
to the weather. Deep red one year and dark orange the next. Either way a delicious orange with a raspberry flavoured twist.
