Valencia Orange

The Sweet Orange known as the Valencia has been growing in Southern California all the way to Florida for nearly 300 years! These oranges have many purposes and one of their best uses is to make sweet freshly squeezed orange juice. Blooming in late winter to early spring, the orange blossom fragrance is a tell-tale sign that spring has arrived. After a couple weeks of blooming small pea size oranges will begin to develop on the tree. Valencia Orange trees produce large yields in late fall to early winter and can hold well on the tree for a few weeks.

These citrus trees are a small to medium tree making them perfect size for any landscape style or application. These can be planted in rows to create a privacy screen, by themselves as a focal point, near windows to provide shade and even in pots on patios and indoors.

Moon Valley Nurseries has been growing all of our own citrus for decades and have developed custom root stock that is guaranteed to produce excellent tasting fruit and plentiful harvest. Rootstock for citrus trees is extremely important as they can be grafted with nearly anything and many growers will use inferior rootstocks so the trees will grow faster. Moon Valley Nurseries takes no short cuts! We only grow trees from our most premium specimens so you are always guaranteed to get the best tasting fruit.

Pro Tip: The zest or outer peal of the Valencia Orange makes a sweet garnish for drinks, deserts, and meals.
