Cara Cara Red Navel Orange Tree - 26-30" Tall - Live Citrus Plant - Gallon Pot

Are you looking for the perfect holiday orange? With a Florida Red Navel Orange you will get the classic flavor of a Florida Navel Orange combined with a brilliant shade of red. This accidental variety was discovered in 1976 in Venezuela. In the 1980s, a process of grafting branches bearing Red Navel Oranges onto suitable root stock allowed growers to develop orange trees that produced these colorful fruits in Florida, resulting in the Florida Red Navel Orange.

On the outside, Red Navel Oranges look like a normal Navel Orange. However, inside, the Red Navel Orange offers a brilliant red color. This makes the Red Navel Oranges similar to blood oranges. The natural red color is due to an increased amount of lycopene. Lycopene is a carotenoid that appears naturally in fruit, and is similar to beta-carotene. Red Navel Oranges are seedless and offer a thin skin that is easy to peel and section.

We grow our trees in a 4 inch square pot that is 14" tall. The pot is equivalent to a “1 gallon” capacity. This “sleeve” is perfect for shipping because you get the entire root ball and soil rather than “bare root.” Getting the soil with the tree greatly increases your success with your new citrus tree.
