Description:
The Red Navel orange—sometimes called the Cara Cara or blood navel—is a naturally pigmented citrus variety with rich, sweet flavor and deep orange-red flesh. This 5-gallon tree is a great size for starting your citrus journey: it's large enough to give you strong root development and early structure, yet still compact enough for container growing or transplanting into a raised bed.
Expect fragrant spring blooms and fruit ripening in mid to late winter. The fruit is seedless, low in acid, and prized for its complex, berry-like sweetness. With its glossy foliage and rounded habit, it also doubles as an ornamental stunner.
Care Tips for South Florida:
-
Sun: Needs full sun to shine—give it 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for best color and sweetness.
-
Watering: Water deeply and allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Containers may need more frequent checks.
-
Soil: Must be well-drained. Use citrus potting mix or sandy soil amended with compost and pine bark fines.
-
Fertilization: Feed with citrus fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during active growth. Supplement with micronutrients to support leaf health and vibrant fruit.
