The story

A navel orange with pink flesh.

Ordinary orange skin, pink-red flesh. It is a natural sport of the Washington navel, seedless and low in acid, with a sweetness people compare to cherry and cranberry. It ripens in winter.

Light

Full sun outdoors; the brightest window or a grow light inside.

Water

Water deeply when the top inch is dry. Never waterlogged.

Planting

Spring. Sandy, well-drained soil or citrus mix. Keep the graft above the soil.

An orange you can't really buy at its best, unless you grow it.
