Valencia are the most popular oranges used to make orange juice. In fact, they are grown in Florida more than any other orange variety for producing juice. The Valencia orange is valued for its sweet-tart taste, juiciness, and the beautiful bright orange color of the juice squeezed from it. Our Valencia orange trees are practically seedless.
This citrus tree ripens in the summer, which is unusual for orange trees, and may bloom again while fruit remains on the tree. This can allow for multiple harvests. Ripe fruit can be left on the tree and harvested as desired, rather than needing to be harvested immediately.
This is a sweet orange, citrus sinensis ‘Valencia’, as opposed to a bitter orange. The origin of this variety is disputed, but it was named after the city of Valencia in Spain, which is known for its orange production.
This is the perfect plant to accent your patio, balcony or sunroom—with the bonus of juicy oranges!
Enjoy attractive green leaves, beautiful white blossoms, and orange-scented flowers. Valencia oranges are bright orange. Potted oranges should be brought indoors during winter months, if you are affected by cold weather.
The Fruit
Valencia oranges are medium in size, with a thin rind that is difficult to peel, and very juicy. The peel contains many oil glands, making gratings from the rind a delicious addition to many foods. The flavor is sweet. A good source of fiber, they also contain vitamin C, folate (vitamin B9), thiamine (vitamin B1), potassium, and antioxidants.
Enjoy Valencia oranges in a variety of ways! Squeeze fresh to make orange juice or marmalade. The juice and zest can be added to desserts, such as orange cakes, cookies, and muffins. Pair with cranberries for delicious baked goods and relishes. Oranges also pair well in desserts with chocolate, with vegetables such as asparagus, and in drinks like tea.
Growing Valencia Oranges
Valencia orange trees need full sun. Planted in the ground, these citrus trees can reach eight to ten feet tall. The mature size can be kept smaller by pruning. In a garden pot, the tree’s height will be reduced by the size of the pot. Bring your potted trees indoors for the winter in cooler climates. The plant is heat tolerant.
This is a self-pollinating fruit tree variety, so outdoor trees will produce fruit by natural means. Indoor trees can be pollinated by hand using a small paintbrush.
Make the dream of enjoying fresh squeezed orange juice straight from your own trees happen by buying a beautiful Valencia Orange tree!
