I have a navel, Washington navel(darker flesh), and blood orange in my yard. The blood oranges tend to mold and become squishy once they get to a certain size and it happens quickly whereas the others can hold their fruit for months and months... My Pinkerton avocado tree is from a sport and has a longer necked fruit than normal. I had no idea that citrus also did that. Another great video that I learned from.
Orange County, CA like Gary, IN? Lol Thanks for the video! Loved our orange tree growing up in AZ as a kid. Great shade tree when playing underneath and smells wonderful!
CA navel oranges in January and February are so delicious. Citrus is becoming my favorite plant to grow even though I can’t plant them in the ground. I’m going to get a grapefruit or navel orange tree but I can’t decide which
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and Ventura County amid groves of Washington and Valencia oranges, grapefruit and lemons. Also walnut groves, very old olive trees and beautiful carob trees. Here in Arkansas, I keep my greenhouse full of citrus, olives and carob. It’s not home without the heavenly scent of citrus!
There was a little citrus orchard about a mile by ditch bank from the house grew up in. This was back in the early 80s. It was all overgrown, mostly chutes off the rootstock. Everything from kumquats to red grapeftuit with everything in between. Some weren't edible, just acid & bitterness. You couldnt ride a dirt bike in there because many of them had thorns as long as your finger. One day we discovered what grew underneath half of them. We were very popular after school the next day. Didn't go back for a long time. 3 days at most😁. We eventually figured out it was a community effort. A few high schoolers. A few hippies & a few irrigators. One day there was a road crew chopping the trees down & it all got burned a week or two later.
Can you an update for this plant of not just this but all citruses you have after these many days of posting this video? Subscribed ! Best wishes for the New Year all the way from India 🇮🇳
I have a mystery orange in Lousiana. It's October, and they're still green. Had some splitting this year. 4 left. I hope I get a ripe one. 2 splits only had about 2 seeds each. Acidic but good, thin skin.
Valencia seems so much better.. my experience: *less pith *better integrity making them easy to peel and separate wedges without them bursting etc. *sweeter *no intrusive "baby oranges". *less small seeds that are hard to spot For some reason my country started replacing the valencia ones with navel ones and in comparison they are useless unless you're making juice.
Navel orange in its ripest, juiciest and serve cold is heaven on earth if you are a bit tired and thirsty. trust me. the experience is heavenly. good or great is not enough to summarised it.
First, great video, thanks for the info. I offer one edit in the best spirit. The name Orange County does not come from the delicious oranges though. The name was chosen for economic reasons. The founders wanted to draw people to visit and live there. The name was chosen because it sounds inviting and it did indeed draw many visitors.
The citrus did inspire the name, as those naming it wanted to convey how lush and productive the area was at the time. It so productive anything would grow and produce all year, even oranges. All sorts of citrus were grown, not just Navel Oranges, but Valencia oranges, too. Valencia oranges were named after Valencia, Spain, not the other way around. These oranges were developed in what is now Southern California (at the time Mexico) by Wolfskill. UC Davis has a research orchard named after Wolfskill a few miles from your property in Winters. There's no competition between these oranges. They ripen at different times and serve different purposes. One is better for fresh eating. The other is better for juicing. If you are looking for a recommendation on which orange to plant, I'd plant a Valencia. It's versatile and has a long hang time. It makes great juice for most of the summer, can be sliced for fresh eating, is great for preserving, and almost always has fruit on the tree that you can use for orange peel in recipes. Naval oranges, however, ripen in winter when there aren't many other fruit available. So, it's a good choice for that reason.
Hey!! We got us an Orange County right down here in Florida, also!!… And did you know what is in Orange County, Florida?? None other than Mickey and Minnie.... yes, sir, that's right, Disney World is in Orange County, Florida....(Also, there used to be a lot of orange trees there, too, before the citrus canker killed them all....😢) Ya'll got the Disneyland, but we got the Disney WORLD!! 😅😅😅
there is a problem in agriculture> if u cant sell it u gonna have to eat it- i had friends that sold "cut flowers" and if they had a bad selling day they would have to get out the salad dressing cause thats all they would have to eat that night- so> ono what if
i’ve got a funny story for you I live in orange county and you cannot buy an orange tree in orange county for some reason fruit flies or something very stupid and one place I did find an orange tree I had to pick it up in LA County and they wanted $1500 for the tree and another 1500 to planet these people have lost their minds
I am looking for a supplier of juicy really good organic orenges to have a supply for quite a while. Say mabey 500 per week minimum. Any way you could help me find the highest quality and orenges for enjoyment
Are you in a relation to Kamala Harris you guys kind of speak alike. I was hoping to learn something about Naval and Valencia oranges but all I got was a bunch of Babble

I'm pretty sure this guy's channel is mostly to promote his vacation property in Winters, CA. It's a nice little town with great food a few miles from where I live. I don't find his content very helpful. Not sure where he is from originally. Not here.
