Navel
Navels are the earliest maturing of orange varieties, producing seedless fruit of larger size than most others, with deep orange, easily peeled rinds, and rich, sweet and pleasant flavour.
This is our main cultivar. Varieties include: Palmer, Fisher, Fukumoto, Washington, Mclains, Newhalls, Lina’s and Lane Late. The Navelate is smaller than the navel, and has a smaller and often concealed navel. They are much sweeter than the Navel.
Navelate
The Navelate is harvested after the Navel, but prior to the Valencia types. The Navelate is highly sought after in export markets, due to outstanding brix levels. The main varieties include Witkrans, Cambria and the Dan Sweet (Carninka).
