Red Navel Oranges are considered the world's finest orange for eating, they are seedless, and they peel and segment easily.The striking red navel fruit is sugary sweet and very flavorful. The Red Navel orange can also be compared to the slight berry flavor of a blood orange but, much better. The fruit color is a beautiful red and is consistent throughout the pulp. The fruit is very large. The tree grows to about 15' but also can be container grown.

Red Navels grow and produce fruit for many years but may remain at a height of only 4 to 6 feet even after several years in a container.  Black plastic containers are relatively inexpensive and easiest to move when you have to protect plants during a cold snap. Use a loose, open potting mix featuring sphagnum peat moss. Soil or sand is not recommended. Add a quality slow-release fertilizer formulated for container use. Follow label directions and repeat as needed for deep green foliage.
