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.

• Pruning: Minimal pruning required. Maintain shape and remove weak or damaged branches after harvest.

• Container Ready: This 5-gallon size is perfect for patios or small-space growing. Choose a breathable pot with drainage holes.
