I am an orange of the navel variety. I am a freak, a limb sport if you will a genetic mutation. Nobody grafted me; I simply appeared as a different limb on a regular navel tree growing in Venezuela. Even today, I am considered genetically unstable, and often called a chimera. I've been partying with some bloods and mandarins lately, and you wanna talk unstable? Anyway, here's what makes me cool. First, I often have variegated leaves, which is pretty neat compared to the bland old green leaves of a regular orange tree. But my internal color is what gives me star quality. Not bloody red, but pink, salmon pink, similar to a Star Ruby Grapefruit. In the USA I grow best in California although I was first domestically cloned in Florida groves, I lacked the rich flavor and the bright color my western crop provided. Finally, my flavor can not be beat. If you a re lucky enough to find me, peel me and you to will thrill to my wonderfully distinctive, rich, sweetness. Sometimes described as the "tutti-frutti orange", I am available late fall through winter. Grab me while I'm stable, cause you never know what I'll turn into next!
