What sets this variety apart is its rich, pinkish-red flesh—often compared to that of a ruby grapefruit—paired with a sweet, low-acid taste and subtle berry-like undertones.
A Cara Cara navel orange tree is a beautiful addition to any garden or orchard. It typically offers fruit from December through May in California.The tree thrives in warm climates, prefers full sun, and requires well-drained soil to produce its best harvest.
