Today, navel oranges continue to be propagated through cutting and grafting. This does not allow for the usual selective breeding methodologies, and so all navel oranges can be considered fruits from that single, nearly 200-year-old tree: they have exactly the same genetic make-up as the original tree and are clones. This case is similar to that of the common yellow seedless banana, the Cavendish, or that of the Granny Smith apple. On rare occasions, however, further mutations can lead to new varieties. [50] Cara cara Cara cara orange slices (left) In the United States, groves are located mainly in Florida, California, and Texas. [84] The majority of California's crop is sold as fresh fruit, whereas Florida's oranges are destined to juice products. The Indian River area of Florida is known for the high quality of its juice, which often is sold fresh in the United States and frequently blended with juice produced in other regions because Indian River trees yield very sweet oranges, but in relatively small quantities. [85] The Daidai is an Asian variety of bitter orange. It appears to have come from the Himalayas then spread to China and Japan. It is so bitter and acidic that it is not often eaten raw, but rather used in essential oils and some regional medicinal purposes. Dream NavelThe Belladonna is a variety of Italian Tarocco Sweet Orange. They are blonde oranges prized for being extremely juicy, and are thus the ideal orange for juicing or eating out of hand. Belladonna are fragrant oranges, so display them in a bowl on your table until you are ready to use them. This is a mostly seedless sweet orange from Southern Italy that is today also grown in the USA. Biondo Comune Orange The Salustiana orange was developed in Spain in 1950 as a seedless (well 1 or fewer seeds per fruit qualifies) variety with a sweet taste. It is sometimes called the Blonde Orange due to its light skin. Its large size and pleasant flavor have made this Spain’s favorite orange where it is mostly eaten fresh or juiced. It is today also grown in South Africa, Morocco, Argentina, and Australia. Satsuma Orange Sunstar: grown in Florida, this newer cultivar ripens in mid-season (December to March) and it is more resistant to cold and fruit-drop than the competing Pineapple variety; the color of its juice is darker than that of the competing Hamlin [46]

This is because unripe fruit usually has high levels of acid that cause the fruit to become hyper-tangy and sometimes even unbearably sour. Green oranges can also be bitter but this will usually depend on how mature the fruit is. Archibald Menzies, the botanist and naturalist on the Vancouver Expedition, collected orange seeds in South Africa, raised the seedlings onboard, and gave them to several Hawaiian chiefs in 1792. Eventually, the sweet orange was grown in wide areas of the Hawaiian Islands, but its cultivation stopped after the arrival of the Mediterranean fruit fly in the early 1900s. [7] [21]

Key Limes: These limes (Citrus aurantiifolia) are small and round with green skin. They have a sour, acidic flavor and are used to make key lime pie.Dream Navels are the smallest of navel oranges, but some argue also the sweetest and most delicious. Like other navel oranges they are seedless and juicy. The variety was developed by a Florida grower, D.J. Nicholson, in 1939 and released upon patent approval in 1944. You may have noticed in this post that there are a large number of varieties developed in the last 100 years. This is the case with many fruits with literally hundreds of new apple varieties appearing in just the last 50 years. Hamlin Orange Today sweet oranges makeup about 70% of all citrus produced worldwide, and are the most cultivated tree in the world! Kudos to the humble orange.

Moro Tarocco: grown in Italy, it is oval, resembles a tangelo, and has a distinctive caramel-colored endocarp; this color is the result of a pigment called anthocarpium, not usually found in citruses, but common in red fruits and flowers; the original mutation occurred in Sicily in the seventeenth centuryCustard apple is a type of fruit that is green in color. It is large and oval with bumpy, green skin and white flesh. Custard apple has a sweet, creamy flavor and can be eaten raw or in ice cream. Kiwano (Horned Melon) Two varieties of Kawachi Bankan have been identified: one, a hybrid between the ujukitsu (seed parent, Citrus ujukitsu) and an unidentified species (pollen parent), and the other, a hybrid between the yuge-hyoukan (seed parent, Citrus yuge-hyokan) and an unidentified species (pollen parent). Rhode Island Greening: This apple is similar to the Granny Smith and is also great in dessert-type recipes. You can find Rhode Island Greening apples at specialty markets on the east coast of the USA.
