This is a great summer juicing orange, and it’s seedless, too! Fruit ripens over the summer, but holds the fruit well on the tree so you can pick into the fall. Use for fresh juice, or slice for snacking, cooking, or baking. This tree is grafted onto semi-dwarf rootstock, making it an ideal candidate for container growing.

Soil pH

  • 5.5 to 6.5

Hardiness Zones

  • Outdoors: 8 to 11
  • Patio: 4 to 11

Mature Size

  • Height: 10 to 15 feet
  • Spread: 3 to 4 feet

Moisture

  • 1 to 1 1/2 inches per week

Notes

  • Moderate growth rate
  • Harvest in the fall
