Description

Washington Navel Orange Grafted Citrus Tree Although its origins are uncertain, it is believed to come from a bud sport found in a Selecta orange tree in the early 1800s. Upon its arrival at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. it was propagated and trees were sent to California and Florida. The flowers lack viable pollen so the Washington navel orange will not pollinate other citrus trees. Because of the lack of functional pollen and viable ovules, the Washington navel orange produces seedless fruits. The Washington navel orange is at its best in the late fall to winter months, but will hold on the tree for several months beyond maturity and stores well. Season November to January.
